AN ACT To amend Code Section 15-6-3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to terms of superior court, so as to change certain terms of court in the Cordele Judicial Circuit; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, specifically Code Section 15-6-3, which outlines the terms of superior court. The key change is to the Cordele Judicial Circuit, where the bill replaces the previously scheduled multiple court dates throughout the year for Ben Hill, Crisp, Dooly, and Wilcox counties with a simpler schedule of court terms beginning on January 1 and July 1 each year. This change aims to standardize and potentially simplify the court calendar for these counties within the Cordele Judicial Circuit, and it is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
