Annotations

Editor’s notes. - Former Code Section 46-7-39, relating to action for damages, repealed by Ga. L. 1992, p. 1179, § 1, was based on Ga. L. 1929, p. 315, § 1; Code 1933, §§ 18-607, 68-710; and Ga. L. 1984, p. 22, § 46. The provisions of that Code section were previously enacted in substantially sim-

ilar form by the Acts and codes listed above. However, those provisions were not originally enacted as part of O.C.G.A. by the Code enactment Act (Ga. L. 1981, Ex. Sess., p. 8). Ga. L. 2000, p. 951, § 13-1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that the 2000

Act which amended this Code section becomes fully effective July 1, 2001, but authorizes administrative action commencing April 28, 2000, for purposes of appointing certain officials, adopting rules and regulations, employing personnel, and preparing for and phasing in full implementation; provided, however, that the Governor may by

executive order extend the date for full implementation of the Act to no later than July 1, 2003. In accordance with an executive order issued June 29, 2001, by the Governor, the amendment of this Code section by Ga. L. 2000, p. 951, became fully effective July 1, 2001.
