# O.C.G.A. § 27-2-14. Liberation-of-wildlife and liberation-of-domestic fish permits.

No text is printed for this repealed section.

## History

Ga. L. 1968, p. 497, § 20; Code 1933, § 45-315, enacted by Ga. L. 1977, p. 396, § 1; Ga. L. 1994, p. 600, § 2; Ga. L. 2002, p. 807, § 1; Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 2-3.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2019, p. 919, § 1-1, repealed the provisions of the Georgia Pacific White Shrimp Development Aquaculture Act, effective July 1, 2019. As a result, the amendment by Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 2-3, which was never funded and therefore remained dormant, is now moot.

## Delayed Effective Date

Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 3-1(c), provides that the 2004 amendment becomes effective only upon the effective date of a specific appropriation of funds for purposes of that Act as expressed in a line item of an appropriations Act enacted by the General Assembly. This Code section, as amended, is not set out in the Code owing to the delayed effective date. Funds were not appropriated at the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018 session of the General Assembly. After the appropriation is made this Code section will read as follows: ‘‘It shall be unlawful for any person to liberate any wildlife within this state or to liberate domestic fish or pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) except into private ponds, except under permit from the department; provided, however, that pen raised quail may be released for purposes of training pointing, flushing, and retrieving dogs.’’
