If no certificate is filed within such time limitation in this Code section, the municipality shall not be entitled to and shall not be paid any funds for the applicable period and such municipality shall not be included in the formula for determining the amount of the grants as provided in Code Section 36-40-24.

## History

Ga. L. 1967, p. 889, § 5.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 1967, p. 889, § 5, the basis for this Code section, was amended by Ga. L. 1982, p. 869, § 1, (effective April 13, 1982), which added a new paragraph to the end of that section of the 1967 Act, providing for the filing of a late certification by any eligible municipality which failed to file for Fiscal Year 1982 funds or which filed after the June 1 cutoff date. Section 2 of the 1982 Act provided for the repeal of the 1982 Act effective November 1, 1982.
