AI Summary
This bill requires state court clerks in Georgia to publish and maintain information about court terms (schedules or periods when the court is in session) on their public websites in a prominent location. The legislation amends the state's legal code by adding a new section that mandates online transparency for court scheduling information, making it easier for the public to access and understand when court sessions will be held. This change aims to improve access to court information by ensuring that citizens can easily find court term dates through official online sources. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply adding a new requirement for state court clerks to provide this scheduling information prominently on their websites, which could help improve public understanding and access to the judicial system.
