# Ga. Const. Art. IX, Sec. VII, Para. IV. Debt.

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.

The administrative body of a community improvement district may incur debt, as authorized by law, without regard to the requirements of Section V of this Article, which debt shall be backed by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the community improvement district but shall not be an obligation of the State of Georgia or any other unit of government of the State of Georgia other than the community improvement district. (Ga. Const. 1983, Art. 9, § 7, Para. 4, approved by Ga. L. 1984, p. 1703, § 1/HR 733.)
