Bill > HB484

This bill updates Georgia's laws regarding the publication of legislative acts and resolutions by allowing for electronic and print formats. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to permit the Office of Legislative Counsel to publish Georgia Laws both electronically and in hardbound volumes, ensuring they remain suitable as permanent records. Additionally, the bill expands the duties of the Code Revision Commission to include providing assistance and oversight for digitizing and electronically publishing Georgia Laws, with the goal of creating a permanent digital repository of session laws and establishing a single public access point for local and general Acts and resolutions of the General Assembly. The changes provide more flexibility in how legislative documents are preserved and shared, accommodating modern digital publishing methods while maintaining the option for traditional print volumes. The bill does not eliminate print publications but rather adds electronic publication as an authorized method of documenting and distributing legislative materials.
