Annotations

Editor’s notes. Ga. L. 2018, p. 19, § 2-1/HB 159, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: “The General Assembly finds that: “(1) From time to time, parents experience short-term difficulties that impair their ability to perform the regular and expected functions to provide care and support to their children; “(2) Parents need a means to confer to a relative or other approved person the temporary authority to act on behalf of a child without the time and expense of a court proceeding or the involvement of the Division of Family and Children Services of the Department of Human Services; and “(3) Providing a statutory mechanism for granting such authority enhances family preservation and stability.”
