Preface
This volume cumulates and replaces the 2008 edition of Volume 26 of
the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, as supplemented by the 2016
Cumulative Supplement. The 2008 Volume 26 and its 2016 Supplement
may be recycled or, if so desired retained for historical purposes.
This volume contains all laws specifically codified in Title 34 by the
General Assembly through the 2017 Session. This volume also contains
case annotations reflecting decisions posted to LexisNexis® through

tional reporter sources: Georgia Supreme Court Opinions; Georgia
Appeals Court Opinions; Southeastern Reporter, Second Series; Su¬
preme Court Reporter; Federal Reporter, Third Series; Federal Supple¬
ment, Second Series; Federal Rules Decisions; and Bankruptcy Re¬
porter. As official and traditional citations become available,
substitutions for the LexisNexis® citations will be made.
Additionally, LexisNexis® has prepared annotations and references
to Attorney General Opinions, law reviews, and other research sources
that we hope will be beneficial as you utilize this product. A complete
listing of those sources is as follows: Official and Unofficial Attorney
General Opinions; Opinions of the Judicial Qualifications Commission;

Bar, issued by the Supreme Court of Georgia; Emory Law Journal;

effective date notes for Acts passed during the 2015, 2016, and 2017
Sessions of the General Assembly. In order to determine the changes
which were made or the effective date applied to a Code section by an
