(Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6.)
- The language of this Code section was enacted by a 1943 amendment to Ga. L. 1937, p. 210, and was designated by Section 4B of the 1937 Act. The 1937 Act was amended further by Ga. L. 1952, p. 365, § 1, which repealed Section 4B and enacted a new Section 4B. However, the new Section 4B contained language which wholly repeated the language of the original Section 4B. Since the 1952 Act thus did not have the practical effect of repealing the language of the original Section 4B, the 1943 amendment (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6) is being treated as the sole basis for this section. The remainder of the language of the Section 4B enacted by the 1952 Act is codified at Code Sections 8-3-111 through 8-3-118.

- It is clear from the language of Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6 (see now O.C.G.A. § 8-3-100) that any county authority within the area of operation of a regional authority must cease to operate upon the establishment of the regional authority. 1950-51 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 99.
