JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Validity of statute eliminating disability payments.

- Former Code 1933, § 78-911 (see O.C.G.A. § 47-17-81), which eliminated, under certain conditions, payment for permanent or total disability, did not violate constitutional provisions providing that no ex post facto law, retroactive law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts shall be passed, because in passing former Code 1933, § 78-917 (see O.C.G.A. § 47-17-101) the legislature specifically provided that all rights and benefits conferred would be subject to future legislative change or revision, and that no beneficiary would be deemed to have any vested right to any annuities or benefits provided therein. Prichard v. Board of Comm'rs of Peace Officers Annuity & Benefit Fund, 211 Ga. 57, 84 S.E.2d 26 (1954).
