An at times contentious hearing on two bills that would make major changes to Gwinnett County's school board and county commission resulted in a hurdle being cleared for one of the bills on Wednesday.

The Senate State and Local Government Operations committee hearing focused on SB 5EX, which would make the Gwinnett school board elections nonpartisan, as well as SB 6EX, which would expand the county commission. Both bills would draw new district maps for the respective boards they focus on.

The committee voted to send the school board bill, which would also draw new district boundaries in addition to making the elections non-partisan, to the full Senate in a 4-3 vote.
