Editor’s notes.
Ga. L. 1996, p. 885, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘Purchasing Reform Act of 1996.’ ”
Ga. L. 1996, p. 885, § 2, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly declares and finds that many of the laws establishing guidelines and requirements for the purchasing of supplies, materials, and equipment by and for state departments and agencies were developed decades earlier and prior to the increase in available sources of supply and the expansion of technology. It is the intent of the General Assembly that these laws be amended to reflect these changes in order to provide greater flexibility for state agencies to make their purchases and to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy which can result in purchase delays and increased administrative costs.”
Ga. L. 2008, p. 776, § 4/HB 1113, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that the amendment to this Code section shall apply to all transactions occurring on and after July 1, 2008.
