# O.C.G.A. § 16-12-128. Effect of part on other provisions of law; civil or criminal proceedings; restitution.

(a) This part shall be cumulative and supplemental to any other law of this state. A conviction or acquittal under any of the criminal provisions of Code Section 16-12-123, 16-12-124, 16-12-125, or 16-12-126 shall not be a bar to any other civil or criminal proceeding.

(b) In addition to any other penalty imposed by law for a violation of this part, the court may require the defendant to make restitution to any affected public or private entity for the reasonable costs or damages associated with the offense. Restitution made pursuant to this subsection shall not preclude any party from obtaining any other civil or criminal remedy available under any other provision of law. The restitution authorized by this subsection is supplemental and not exclusive.
