Constitution of the State of Georgia
Article V. EXECUTIVE BRANCH · Article V. EXECUTIVE BRANCH · Section IV. DISABILITY OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Art. V, Sec. IV, Para. II. Procedure for determining disability.
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.
Upon a petition of any four of the elected constitutional executive officers to the Supreme Court of Georgia that another elected constitutional executive officer is unable to perform the duties of office because of a physical or mental disability, the Supreme Court shall by appropriate rule provide for a speedy and public hearing on such matter, including notice of the nature and cause of the accusation, process for obtaining witnesses, and the assistance of counsel. Evidence at such hearing shall include testimony from not fewer than three qualified physicians in private practice, one of whom must be a psychiatrist.
