This review provides summary descriptions of Georgia's 1984 legislation which impacts the structure and operation of its criminal justice system as well as the functions of State and local governments.
Abstract
For each major piece of legislation, the review format covers the legislation's background, purposes, content, and how it affects a particular facet of the criminal justice system. The bills reviewed pertain to corrections, courts, crimes and punishment, law enforcement, motor vehicle laws, and miscellaneous criminal justice issues. The bills are classified according to their origination in the house or senate. House and senate resolutions are also included, and legislation of local interest is listed in numerical order by the originating chamber, along with the title of the act. Because of the local rather than statewide impact of this legislation, no analysis is provided. 'Specialized legislation' is listed, but not analyzed, under the following topics: (1) motor vehicle/motor vehicle insurance, (2) game and fish, (3) driver's license, and (4) criminal justice system retirement legislation.
