# O.C.G.A. § 10-14-28. Actions pending under prior law.

(a) Prior law exclusively governs all actions, prosecutions, or proceedings which are pending or may be initiated on the basis of facts or circumstances occurring before July 1, 2000, except that no civil action may be maintained to enforce any liability under prior law unless brought within any period of limitation which applied when the cause of action accrued and, in any event, no later than July 1, 2000.

(b) All effective registrations under prior law, all administrative orders relating to such registrations, and all conditions imposed upon such registrations remain in effect. They shall be deemed to have been filed, entered, or imposed under this chapter but are governed by prior law.

(c) Judicial review of all administrative orders as to which review proceedings have not been instituted by July 1, 2000, are governed by Code Section 10-14-22, except that no review proceeding may be instituted unless the petition is filed within any period of limitation which applied to a review proceeding when the order was entered and, in any event, no later than August 1, 2000.
