ATLANTA (AP) The leader of Georgia's House of Representatives says his chamber will not pass changes to a bill allowing licensed gun holders to have weapons on college campuses.
Republican Gov. Nathan Deal has expressed concerns about that measure, which already has been approved by lawmakers and awaits Deal's response.
WABE-FM (http://bit.ly/21E26m9) reports that Republican House Speaker David Ralston of Blue Ridge is concerned about gutting the "entire intent'' of a previously approved bill by making more changes during the last two days of the 2016 session.
Ralston says Deal didn't share his concerns about weapons being brought into day cares, disciplinary hearings or office space until the bill had passed. Ralston says he expects Deal to sign the measure.
Deal hasn't committed to signing the bill or vetoing it.
