The state House on Tuesday unanimously approved moving the Georgia Archives from the Secretary of State’s Office to the University System of Georgia.

The 170-0 vote on House Bill 287 follows Gov. Nathan Deal’s pledge to move the archives after the program bore the brunt of budget cuts in the Secretary of State’s Office.

Under the bill, which now goes to the Senate, the Archives would remain in its facility in Morrow and would not have its hours cut.
