Part 2 - Hazardous Site Response
§ 12-8-94. [For Effective Date, See Note] Powers and Duties of Director

History. Code 1981, § 12-8-94 , enacted by Ga. L. 1992, p. 2234, § 5; Ga. L. 1993, p. 500, § 5; Ga. L. 1994, p. 483, § 4; Ga. L. 1997, p. 1050, § 2.
Delayed effective date.
The second 1994 amendment, by Ga. L. 1994, p. 1101, in subsection (a), deleted “and” from the end of paragraph (4), substituted “; and” for the period at the end of paragraph (5), and added a paragraph (6) which would read: “To request the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission for the issuance of public debt to fund corrective action pursuant to this part; provided, however, that any moneys recovered from persons found to be legally liable for such corrective action shall be used to reduce any such public debt incurred.” Ga. L. 1994, p. 1101, § 6, provided that the amendment to this Code section by that Act “shall become effective only upon the effective date of a duly ratified amendment to the Constitution authorizing the state to incur indebtedness to fund activities associated with the investigation, detoxification, removal, and disposal of any hazardous wastes, hazardous constituents, or hazardous substances at certain sites.” As of May 2022, no vote had been taken on the constitutional amendment, and this Code section does not reflect the amendment by that Act.
