Editor's notes
Ga. L. 2015, p. 693, § 4-1/HB 233, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: ‘‘This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2015, and shall apply to seizures of property for forfeiture that occur on or after that date. Any such seizure that occurs before July 1, 2015, shall be governed by the statute in effect at the time of such seizure.’’
Other notes
- The 2015 amendment, effective July 1, 2015, substituted ‘‘fine and bond forfeiture fund’’ for ‘‘fine and forfeiture fund’’ in the middle of the first sentence. See editor’s note for applicability.
