# O.C.G.A. § 37-4-20 through 37-4-22.

No text is printed for this repealed section through 37-4-22.

## History

Repealed by Ga. L. 2011, p. 337, § 3/HB 324, effective July 1, 2011.

## Code Commission Notes

Former Code Section 37-4-21 was repealed effective July 1, 2011, by operation of Ga. L. 2011, p. 337, § 3. However, Ga. L. 2011, p. 227, § 25, effective July 1, 2011, purported to amend Code Section 37-4-21 to substitute ‘‘a personal care home, as defined in subsection (a) of Code Section 31-7-12, or an assisted living community, as defined in Code Section 31-7-12.2’’ for ‘‘or a personal care home, as defined in Code Section 31-7-12’’ in the last sentence of subsection (c). For effect of subsequent amendment of a repealed statute, see Lampkin v. Pike, 115 Ga. 827 (1902).
