History

Code 1933, § 34A-128a, enacted by Ga. L. 1950, p. 233, § 3; Ga. L. 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., p. 359, § 2; Ga. L. 1970, p. 555, § 1; Code 1933, § 34C-1101, enacted by Ga. L. 1981, p. 1587, § 1.

Editor's notes

The “Electric Membership Corporation Act” was enacted by Ga. L. 1937, p. 644, and was unofficially codified at Title 34A of the 1933 Code. Georgia Laws 1950, p. 233, § 2 amended the 1937 Act by adding a section designated as § 34A-128a, which was unofficially codified at § 34A-128.1. In 1968 the General Assembly enacted the “Georgia Municipal Election Code” (Ga. L. 1968, p. 885) and officially designated that Act as Title 34A of the 1933 Code. As a means of accommodating the 1968 Act, the “Electric Membership Corporation Act” was unofficially redesignated as Title 34B. Thus, § 34A-128.1 was unofficially redesignated as § 34B-128.1.
