## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2015, p. 996, § 1-1/SB 65, not codified by the General Assembly, provides:

‘‘(a) This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘Debtor Creditor Uniform Law Modernization Act of 2015.’

‘‘(b) To promote consistency among the states, it is the intent of the General Assembly to modernize certain existing uniform laws promulgated by the Uniform Law Commission affecting debtor and creditor rights, responsibilities, and relationships and other federally recognized laws affecting such rights, responsibilities, and relationships.’’

Ga. L. 2015, p. 996, § 7-1/SB 65, not codified by the General Assembly, provides, in part: ‘‘Part 2 of this Act shall apply to all actions filed on or after July 1, 2015, in which the recognition of a foreign country judgment is raised.’’
