HB88 - Veterinary Technician Loan Purchase
Status: Introduced 01/16/2025, favorably reported by committee 03/06/2025
What it does: State can purchase up to $30,000 in loans for vet techs working in rural counties (pop. ≤50,000)
Terms: $10,000 forgiven per 12 months of rural service
Limit: 5 persons per year
What this means for you:
Neither is law yet, but HB130 could be a GAME CHANGER for future borrowing. For existing loans, your best bet is still federal programs (PSLF, income-driven repayment) and local credit union refinancing .
Also, check if your school has institutional loan options—some use UAS for servicing .
Stay hopeful! Georgia is actually trying to address this. The black market can wait
