ARTICLE 2 JUVENILE COURT ADMINISTRATION

15-11-55. Applicability of local laws.

  1. To the extent that the provisions of this article conflict with a local constitutional amendment authorizing the election of a juvenile court judge and with the provisions of a local Act authorized by such local constitutional amendment to provide for the term of office, vacancies in office, qualifications, compensation, and full-time or part-time status of a juvenile court judge or judges, the provisions of such local constitutional amendment and such local Act shall govern.
  2. The state grants provided by Code Section 15-11-52 shall be provided to any circuit encompassing a juvenile court governed by the provisions of a local constitutional amendment and a local Act in the same manner as other circuits, except that, in any circuit with one or more elected juvenile court judges, the elected juvenile court judge who is senior in duration of service as a juvenile court judge shall establish, subject to other applicable provisions of law, the total number of circuit-wide juvenile court judges, whether the judge or judges shall be full time or part time or a combination of full time and part time, and the compensation of any part-time juvenile court judge or judges.

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions decided under pre-2014 Code Section 15-11-18, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section. See the Editor's notes at the beginning of the chapter.

Local legislation not necessary.

- Local legislation is not necessary to establish a juvenile court for a particular county alone, but the powers of the juvenile court cannot be restricted to only that county. 2000 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U2000-3 (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-18).
