Editor's notes

Ga. L. 2025, p. 206, § 2-1/HB 233, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly of Georgia finds and determines that: “(1) Brunswick stew is a rich, thick stew noted for its signature ingredients of meat, tomatoes, and fresh vegetables, such as sweet corn; “(2) A plaque on an old iron pot in Brunswick, Georgia, declares the first Brunswick stew was made in it on July 2, 1898, on nearby St. Simons Island; and “(3) Contrary to claims by other states, Georgia, and specifically Brunswick, Georgia, is the birthplace of Brunswick stew.”
