Law reviews. For annual survey of local government law, see 57 Mercer L. Rev. 289 (2005). JUDICIAL DECISIONS County ordinance not in conflict. - Since the stated purpose of Gwinnett County, Ga., Ord. No. 82-11 was to impede the sale of stolen property, and its requirements were designed to achieve that end, it was a proper use of the county’s police power; further, by expressly preserving local laws in O.C.G.A. § 44-12-135, which

included county ordinances, the legislature had in effect “authorized” them, and so Gwinnett County, Ga., Ord. No. 82-11 did not conflict with O.C.G.A. § 44-12138. Pawnmart, Inc. v. Gwinnett County, 279 Ga. 19, 608 S.E.2d 639, 2005 Ga. LEXIS 121 (2005).
