Editor’s notes.
Prior to the legislative session of 1890-91, the provisions of law relating to the composition of the General Assembly were solely constitutional provisions, which were codified as follows:
Senate
Code 1863, § 4923
Code 1868, § 4917
Code 1873, § 5042
Code 1882, § 5040
House of Representatives
Code 1863, § 4927
Code 1868, § 4921
Code 1873, § 5046
Code 1882, § 5042
In the session of 1890-91, the first nonconstitutional provision relating to the composition of the House of Representatives was enacted by Ga. L. 1890-91, p. 192, § l, which was subsequently codified as § 291 of the Civil Code of 1895. In the session of 1906, the first nonconstitutional provision relating to the composition of the Senate was enacted by Ga. L. 1906, p. 80, § 1, which was subsequently codified as § 334 of the Civil Code of 1910.
As a result of the enactment of the nonconstitutional provisions, there appeared in the Code beginning with the Code of 1895 parallel constitutional and nonconstitutional provisions relating to the composition of the General Assembly, which were codified as follows: Senate Civil Code 1910 § 6411 (Const.) § 344 Code 1933 § 2-1301 (1877 Const.) § 2-1401 (1945 Const.) § 2-801 (1976 Const.) § 47-102 House of Representatives Civil Code 1895 § 5747 (Const.) § 291 Civil Code 1910 § 6413 (Const.) § 333 Code 1933 § 2-1401 (1877 Const.) § 2-1501 (1945 Const.) § 2-901 (1976 Const.) § 47-101
