JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Authority to pass local Acts.

- Provisions of Ga. L. 1970, p. 426, § 1 et seq. (see O.C.G.A. § 36-36-50 et seq.) do not take away legislative authority to pass local acts annexing territory to municipal corporations. These sections provide an alternative method to the continuing power of the General Assembly to extend or diminish the corporate limits of a municipality. Ballentine v. Willingham, 237 Ga. 60, 226 S.E.2d 593, appeal dismissed, 429 U.S. 909, 97 S. Ct. 298, 50 L. Ed. 2d 276 (1976).
