Georgia code section 20-2-218 Duty free lunch for elementary teachers and daily planning period for all K-12 teachers

I was reading some of the information on the PAGE website and it was mentioned that planning time is often lost for professional development, etc. So does this provision mean that all teachers will get protected planning time where teachers actually have time to plan or are they saying teachers are required to be given scheduled planning time? Because planning time is often embedded in schedules but that doesn’t mean that planning will occur, as teachers have required meetings during that time.
