JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Cooperating governmental entities not liable for each other's torts.

- While the law authorizes cooperation of counties and municipal corporations with the State Highway Department (now Department of Transportation) for the purpose of establishing limited access highways, there is nothing in statute or in the law generally which expressly or by implication makes one of the cooperating governmental entities liable for unilateral tortious acts of another cooperating governmental entity in a project of this type. Madden v. Fulton County, 102 Ga. App. 19, 115 S.E.2d 406 (1960).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Authority to issue license for rail line.

- Department of Transportation has authority to issue a revocable license to a company constructing and operating a rapid rail passenger service line to cross the rights-of-way of several state routes so long as consideration is received which represents a substantial benefit to the public. 1995 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 95-45.
