Active

Current through: Including Acts of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly.

A constitution provision shown as in force is in force as printed in the volume. A court decision can make a printed provision unenforceable without changing the volume, and the volume does not record that.

Any other provisions of this Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, no past, present, or future Governor of the State of Georgia who ceases or ceased to hold office as Governor for any reason, except for medical disability, shall receive a retirement benefit based on involuntary separation from employment as a result of ceasing to hold office as Governor. The provisions of any law in conflict with this Paragraph are null and void effective January 1, 1985. (Ga. Const. 1983, Art. 3, § 10, Para. 5-A, approved by Ga. L. 1984, p. 1714, § 1/SR 307.)

The notes below are printed with the section but are not enacted law (O.C.G.A. § 1-1-1(c)). They are shown apart from the text.

Editor's notes

The constitutional amendment (Ga. L. 1984, p. 1714, § 1) which added this paragraph was approved by a majority of the qualified voters voting at the general election held on November 6, 1984.
