Printed herein is the 1984 Ga. Laws, page 4281, which created the office of commissioner
as the governing authority of the county. Amendments to the act are indicated by parenthetical
history notes following amended provisions. The absence of a history note indicates
that the provision remains unchanged from the original act. Obvious misspellings have
been corrected without notation. For stylistic purposes, a uniform system of headings,
catchlines and citations to state statutes has been used. Additions made for clarity
are indicated by brackets.
