2020 Georgia Code
Title 50 - State Government
Chapter 38 - Compact for a Balanced Budget
- In 2014, the Georgia General Assembly passed HB 794 and SB 206, both relating to Article V Conventions. HB 794, codified at § 50-38-1, was signed by the Governor on April 12, 2014 (Act No. 475, Ga. L. 2014, p. 20/HB 794). SB 206, codified at § 28-6-8, was signed by the Governor on April 29, 2014 (Act. No. 641, Ga. L. 2014, p. 815, § 1/SB 206). The Code Revision Commission on May 15, 2014, directed that both Acts be published, although the effect of codifying both is unclear.
Editor's notes.- Ga. L. 2014, p. 20, § 1/HB 794, effective April 12, 2014, enacted this chapter, the Compact for a Balanced Budget. Pursuant to Sec. 7 of Art. X of the Compact, the Compact shall terminate upon the passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the United States Constitution, or after seven years. As of July 2020, there had been no such amendment to the United States Constitution.
