Notes
Editor’s notes.Ga. L. 2008, p. 889, § 1/HB 1035, sought to enact Article 5 of Chapter 8 of this title, consisting of Code Sections 48-8-220 and 48-8-221, regarding additional funding sources for transportation. Section 3 of that Act provided that Article 5 would have become effective January 1, 2009, but only upon ratification at the November, 2008, state-wide general election of a resolution amending the Constitution authorizing such funding. No such resolution was adopted by the General Assembly and, consequently, the referendum did not occur and Article 5 was not given effect.
