(Code 1981, §46-3-30, enacted by Ga. L. 1992, p. 2141, § 1.)
- Ga. L. 1992, p. 2141, § 1, redesignated former Code Section 46-3-30 as present Code Section 46-3-32.
- For annual survey article discussing workers' compensation law, see 51 Mercer L. Rev. 549 (1999). For survey article on construction law for the period from June 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003, see 55 Mercer L. Rev. 85 (2003).
- The High-Voltage Safety Act, O.C.G.A. § 46-3-30, does not deprive injured persons of due process by abolishing a common law claim, since the legislature has the authority to abolish such claims prior to their accrual; nor is the Act unconstitutionally vague. Santana v. Georgia Power Co., 269 Ga. 127, 498 S.E.2d 521 (1998).
- The language of the Georgia High-voltage Safety Act, O.C.G.A. § 46-3-30 et seq., is clear and unambiguous in its requirement that notice be given before work is commenced in proximity to high-voltage lines, and in its provision that lack of such notice insulates an owner of the lines from liability. Jackson Elec. Mbrshp. Corp. v. Smith, 276 Ga. 208, 576 S.E.2d 878 (2003).
