AI Summary
This bill is a comprehensive technical revision of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.), which involves making numerous minor corrections, clarifications, and technical updates across multiple titles of Georgia state law. The bill aims to modernize, correct errors or omissions, and reenact the statutory portion of the state code. It includes changes such as correcting grammatical errors, standardizing terminology, updating references, removing obsolete language, and making non-substantive technical edits across various sections of Georgia law. These changes affect areas including agriculture, banking, education, health, local government, public safety, taxation, and many other areas of state statutes. The bill does not make significant policy changes but focuses on improving the technical accuracy and consistency of the state legal code. Specifically, the bill provides detailed instructions about which parts of the published code are officially reenacted (such as statutory text and numbering systems) and which parts are not considered legally binding (such as case annotations, editorial notes, and indices). The revisions are intended to ensure the clarity, accuracy, and readability of Georgia's legal code.
