- This Code section, as set out above, becomes effective January 1, 2019. For version of this Code section in effect until January 1, 2019, see the 2018 amendment note.

The 2018 amendment, effective January 1, 2019, designated the existing provisions of this Code section as subsection (a); in subsection (a), inserted "and prior to January 1, 2019," near the beginning and substituted "Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency" for "agency" in the middle; and added subsection (b). See Editor's notes for applicability.
