Constitution of the State of Georgia

Article IV. CONSTITUTIONAL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS · Article IV. CONSTITUTIONAL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS · Section VI. BOARD OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Art. IV, Sec. VI, Para. I. Board of Natural Resources.

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.

  1. (a)

    There shall be a Board of Natural Resources which shall consist of one member from each congressional district in the state and five members from the state at large, one of whom must be from one of the following named counties: Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, McIntosh, Glynn, or Camden. All members shall be appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The members of the board in office on June 30, 1983, shall serve out the remainder of their respective terms. As each term of office expires, the Governor shall appoint a successor as herein provided. All such terms of members shall be for seven years. Members shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualified. Insofar as it is practicable, the members of the board shall be representative of all areas and functions encompassed within the Department of Natural Resources.#

  2. (b)

    The board shall have such powers and duties as provided by law.#
