# Ga. Const. Art. V, Sec. IV, Para. I. ‘‘Elected constitutional executive officer,’’ how defined.

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.

As used in this section, the term ‘‘elected constitutional executive officer’’ means the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the State School Superintendent, the Commissioner of Insurance, the Commissioner of Agriculture, and the Commissioner of Labor.

## Editor's Notes

The constitutional amendments (Ga. L. 1984, p. 1716, § 3) and (Ga. L. 1988, p. 2100, § 5) which would have revised Paragraph I to delete the reference to the State School Superintendent were defeated at the general elections on November 6, 1984, and November 8, 1988.

## 1976 Constitution.

Art. V, Sec. IV, Para. I.
