Delayed effective date.
Ga. L. 2003, p. 615, § 3-1, provides that the 2003 amendment by § 2-2 of that Act becomes effective only upon the effective date of an appropriation of funds for purposes of Part II of that Act as expressed in a line item making specific reference to full funding of that Act in an Appropriations Act enacted by the General Assembly. This Code section, as set out above, does not reflect the amendment by § 2-2 of that Act, owing to the delayed effective date. Funds were not appropriated at the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022 session of the General Assembly.
