Annotations
OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Editor’s notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions under Ga. L. 1976, p. 1414, § 6, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section. Noncompetitively bid contracts between state agencies and nonprofit contractors. - Law covers all
noncompetitively bid contracts, other than individual employment contracts, that are entered into between a state agency and a nonprofit contractor when the nonprofit contractor receives public funds of any kind under the contract. 1976 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 76-64 (decided under Ga. L. 1976, p. 1414, § 6). Contracts between state agencies and university system. - Law is not
applicable to contracts between the Department of Natural Resources and universities and their units or extensions which are part of the University System of Georgia or the university system of another state since the statutory exemption removed the Board of Regents and the
Board’s governed institutions from the definition of ‘‘nonprofit contractor’’. However, these sections would, in most instances, be applicable to contracts with private colleges and universities. 1976 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 76-88 (decided under Ga. L. 1976, p. 1414, § 6).
