- O.C.G.A. § 33-37-56 does not impermissibly conflict with the constitutional jurisdiction of the superior courts; the statute is an authorized exception to the superior courts' grant of general jurisdiction. Smith v. Farm & Home Life Ins. Co., 269 Ga. 709, 506 S.E.2d 104 (1998).
O.C.G.A. § 33-37-56 does not unconstitutionally attempt to exclude property located in the state from ad valorem taxation without specific authorization; the statute does not state that the property of an insolvent, non-domiciliary insurer is exempt from taxation and, instead, merely grants such insurers a stay in proceedings against the insurers to collect amounts owed. Smith v. Farm & Home Life Ins. Co., 269 Ga. 709, 506 S.E.2d 104 (1998).
