Code Commission notes.
Ga. L. 2000, p. 1243, § 3, amended this Code section and in so doing omitted without expressly repealing language added to subsection (a) of this Code section by Ga. L. 1999, p. 798, § 1. The two amendments were not irreconcilably conflicting and, in accordance with Reeves v. Gay, 92 Ga. 309 (1893), the amendment to this Code section made by Ga. L. 1999, p. 798, § 1, was treated as not having been repealed by Ga. L. 2000, p. 1243, § 3.
Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 2000, in paragraph (g)(2), “July 1, 2000,” was substituted for “the effective date of this Code section”.
