JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under pre-2014 Code Section 15-11-113, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section.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.

Constitutionality.

- Former Georgia Parental Notification Act's requirements, former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-110 et seq. (see now O.C.G.A. § 15-11-683), taken together, did not unduly burden a minor's abortion decision. Planned Parenthood Ass'n v. Miller, 934 F.2d 1462 (11th Cir. 1991) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-113).
