# O.C.G.A. § 12-5-50. Intent of article as to conflicts with federal laws and as to eligibility of division or departments of state government for federal funds; remedial action.

Nothing in this article is intended to conflict with any provision of federal law or result in loss of eligibility for any federal funds on the part of the division or any department of state government. In case such a conflict or loss of federal funds should occur by virtue of enactment of any portion of this article, then the division is authorized and empowered to take such action as may be necessary and to effect such changes within the division as may be necessary to prevent loss of such funds to the division or any department of state government affected and to secure to the same the full benefit of the federal laws.
