# O.C.G.A. § 35-2-41.1. Donation or conveyance of property, equipment, or services to the department; procedure.

(a) Any offer to donate or convey by deed, gift, rent, lease, or other means any property, equipment, or services to the department shall be made in writing through command channels to the commissioner. If the commissioner approves the offer, he or she shall submit a written proposal of the offer to the board for its approval. A copy of the formal proposal shall be forwarded by the commissioner to the Office of Planning and Budget, the Senate Budget and Evaluation Office, and the House Budget and Research Office, any of which may comment on the proposal.

(b) Title to real property shall be in the State of Georgia for the use of the department. No member of the department shall be authorized to accept any donation or conveyance of property, equipment, or services unless the provisions of this Code section have been complied with and until the board has approved the donation or conveyance.

## History

Code 1981, § 35-2-41.1, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 486, § 3; Ga. L. 2008, p. VO1, § 1-16/HB 529; Ga. L. 2014, p. 866, § 35/SB 340; Ga. L. 2025, p. 1029, § 35(42)(E)/SB 153, effective July 1, 2025.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2008, p. VO1, which amended this Code section, was passed by the General Assembly as HB 529 at the 2007 regular session but vetoed by the Governor on May 30, 2007. The General Assembly overrode that veto on January 28, 2008, and the Act became effective on that date.

## Amendments

The 2025 amendment, effective July 1, 2025, part of an Act to revise, modernize, and correct the Code, substituted “department” for “Department of Public Safety” in subsection (b).
