Section 2. Department of Public Safety, 35-2-1 through 35-2-164.

ARTICLE 2 GEORGIA STATE PATROL

35-2-57. Use of retired unmarked pursuit cars for training.

When an unmarked pursuit vehicle used by the Georgia State Patrol for the purpose of enforcing the traffic laws of this state is first removed from the field and will no longer be used on a regular basis for pursuit purposes, the commissioner of public safety is authorized, in his or her discretion, to make such pursuit vehicle available to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center for the purpose of training public safety officers pursuant to Chapter 5 of this title. Such vehicles may also be sold or traded pursuant to Code Section 35-2-58. Upon notification by the commissioner, the administrator of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center shall be authorized to take immediate possession of any such pursuit vehicle.

(Code 1981, §35-2-57, enacted by Ga. L. 1987, p. 317, § 1; Ga. L. 2012, p. 1, § 1/HB 253.)

The 2012 amendment, effective January 24, 2012, in this Code section, substituted "public safety is authorized, in his or her discretion, to make such pursuit vehicle available to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center" for "public safety shall notify the administrator of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center and shall make such pursuit vehicle available to such center" in the first sentence, and added the second sentence.
