27-4-252. Definitions.

Code 1981, § 27-4-252, enacted by Ga. L. 1992, p. 1507, § 8; Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 2-6.

Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 3-1(c), provides that the 2004 amendment becomes effective only upon the effective date of a specific appropriation of funds for purposes of that Act as expressed in a line item of an appropriations Act enacted by the General Assembly. Funds were not appropriated at the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018 session of the General Assembly. After the appropriation is made paragraph (1) will read as follows: ‘‘(1) ‘Aquaculture’ means the extensive or intensive farming of aquatic animals, other than pacific white shrimp as defined by Code Section 2-15-2, and aquatic plants.’’

Ga. L. 2019, p. 919, § 1-1, repealed the provisions of the Georgia Pacific White Shrimp Development Aquaculture Act, effective July 1, 2019. As a result, the amendment by Ga. L. 2004, p. 948, § 2-6, which was never funded and therefore remained dormant, is now moot.
