Code Commission notes.
Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 1991, a comma was inserted following “flashing” in paragraph (a)(8).
Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 1996, subsection (b), which was added by Ga. L. 1996, p. 1052, § 3, was redesignated as subsection (c) in view of the fact that Ga. L. 1996, p. 831 also enacted a subsection (b). As a result, the reference in paragraph (a)(6) to “subsection (b)” was changed to be a reference to “subsection (c)”.
Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 1996, “April 15, 1996” was substituted for “the effective date of this subsection” in the first sentence of paragraph (c)(3).
Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 2006, “until October 31, 2006,” was substituted for “180 days from the effective date of this subparagraph” in division (c)(1)(F)(iii).
