Law reviews.

- For article, "Bill Drafting - Some Guidelines and Pitfalls," see 2 Ga. St. B.J. 181 (1965).

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Originating entity for enrolled Acts.

- The enrolled Act (Ga. L. 1987, p. 1133) which increased the marriage license fee was not unconstitutional despite the originating entity. A duly enrolled Act, properly authenticated by the regular presiding officers of both houses of the General Assembly, approved by the Governor, and deposited with the Secretary of State as an existing law, will be conclusively presumed to have been enacted in accordance with constitutional requirements. Collins v. Woodham, 257 Ga. 643, 362 S.E.2d 61 (1987).
