Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS O.C.G.A. Ch. 62, T. 36 is to be liberally construed; liberally, but not ultraliberally. Day v. Development Auth., 248 Ga. 488, 284 S.E.2d 275 (1981). Section preempted by the War on Terrorism Local Assistance Act, O.C.G.A. § 36-75-11(c). - Superior court did not err in finding that a county development authority was within the category of authorities governed by the War on
Terrorism Local Assistance Act, O.C.G.A. § 36-75-11(c), because § 36-75-11(c) was a general law that preempted by implication the exemption from referenda set forth in the Development Authorities Law, O.C.G.A. § 36-62-11, as to those development authorities that met the criteria of authorities defined in § 36-75-11(c). Dev. Auth. v. State, 286 Ga. 36, 684 S.E.2d 856 (2009).
