OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Payroll procedures of appellate courts.

- The appellate courts may designate their fiscal officers to handle their payrolls under procedures satisfactory to the appellate courts and the Office of Planning and Budget; in the establishment of these procedures, the Office of Planning and Budget as an arm of the Executive Department of state government must be ever mindful of the delicate balance of power between the executive and the judiciary recognized by the General Assembly in, for instance, O.C.G.A. §§ 45-12-78,45-12-82 and45-12-83, and founded upon the constitutional principle of the separation of powers. 1971 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 71-100.
