TITLE 28 GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Section 5. Financial Affairs, 28-5-1 through 28-5-127.

ARTICLE 3 FISCAL BILLS GENERALLY

28-5-44. Attachment of fiscal notes to bills; reading of notes at third reading of bills; distribution of notes relating to bills prior to final votes thereon.

The fiscal notes required by this article shall be attached to the bill by the chairman of the committee to which the bill was referred and shall be read to the members of each respective house of the General Assembly at the third reading of the bill. In addition, a copy of each fiscal note required by this article shall be distributed to each member of the respective house of the General Assembly before which the bill is pending prior to any such bill being voted upon by such house of the General Assembly.

(Ga. L. 1975, p. 1568, § 5.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Fiscal note to be attached to bill but need not be attached to enrolled Act.

- Although Ga. L. 1966, p. 573, as amended by Ga. L. 1969, p. 570 (see now O.C.G.A. § 28-5-42) requires that the chairman of the committee to which a retirement or pension bill is referred procure a fiscal note as to the effect of such bill and Ga. L. 1969, p. 570 (see now O.C.G.A. § 28-5-44) requires the committee chairman to attach the fiscal note to the bill and to furnish and read said note to the members of the respective houses of the General Assembly, neither of these laws require that the fiscal note be attached to the enrolled Act. The Supreme Court declined to construe Ga. L. 1969, p. 570 (see now O.C.G.A. § 28-5-44) so as to require the fiscal note to be attached to the enrolled Act and to enforce that Ga. L. 1969, p. 570 as thus construed as if it were a constitutional mandate. Richmond County v. Pierce, 234 Ga. 274, 215 S.E.2d 655 (1975).
