No text is printed for this reserved section.

## History

Ga. L. 2016, p. 214, § 2/SB 308; repealed by Ga. L. 2017, p. 764, § 2-1/SB 193, effective July 1, 2017.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2017, p. 764, § 1-1/SB 193, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly finds that:

“(1) Untreated chlamydial infection has been linked to problems during pregnancy, including preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, and low birth weight. The newborn may also become infected during delivery as the baby passes through the birth canal. Exposed newborns can develop eye and lung infections; and

“(2) Untreated gonococcal infection in pregnancy has been linked to miscarriages, premature birth and low birth weight, premature rupture of membranes, and chorioamnionitis. Gonorrhea can also infect an infant during delivery as the infant passes through the birth canal. If untreated, infants can develop eye infections.”

Ga. L. 2017, p. 764, § 2-1/SB 193, reserved the designation of this Code section, effective July 1, 2017.
