The Georgia House passed legislation Tuesday that could give a leg-up to current and former military personnel who attend a state technical college.

SB 18 would allow technical colleges to grant academic credits for military experience and training.

The bill, which passed 14-0, goes back to the Senate for consideration of House changes.
