AI Summary
This bill, titled "Official Code of Georgia Annotated; revise, modernize and correct errors in omissions," proposes numerous amendments to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA), which is the compilation of Georgia's statutory laws. The primary purpose of this bill is to update, clarify, and correct errors within the existing legal code. It achieves this by making specific changes to various titles and code sections within the OCGA, ranging from minor punctuation adjustments and grammatical corrections to more substantive revisions in how certain laws are referenced or worded. For instance, it corrects typos like "Multistage" to "Multistate" in Title 7 (Banking and Finance), clarifies wording in sections related to education in Title 20, and updates references in laws concerning general assembly procedures in Title 28. The bill also includes provisions for the reenactment of the statutory portions of the OCGA, essentially reconfirming the existing laws while also allowing for the repeal of any provisions that have become obsolete, unconstitutional, or superseded by newer laws, and it aims to incorporate legal principles derived from state Supreme Court decisions.
