Code Commission notes.

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. No such amendment to the United States Constitution occurred within seven years after the first state adopted the Compact, and the Compact was terminated effective April 12, 2021, per its own terms.
