The 2018 amendment, rewrote paragraph (1). For effective date, see the Editor's note.

- Ga. L. 2018, p. 201, § 2/HB 670, provided: "(a) If a legislative branch representative is appointed and serving on the Georgia State Council for Interstate Juvenile Supervision on June 30, 2018, then this Act shall become effective upon the termination of his or her term of service.

"(b) If a legislative branch representative has not been appointed and is not serving on such council on June 30, 2018, then this Act shall become effective on July 1, 2018.” A legislative branch representative had not been appointed and was not serving on such council on June 30, 2018, so the Act became effective on July 1, 2018.
