ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA 2003 COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE Volume Three Index and Miscellaneous COMPILER'S NOTE General Acts and Resolutions of the 2003 session of the General Assembly of Georgia will be found in Volume I beginning at page 1. Local and Special Acts and Resolutions will be found in Volume II beginning at page 3501. Home rule actions by counties and consolidated governments and by municipalities filed in the Office of the Secretary of State between April 16,2002, and April 30,2003, are printed in Volume II beginning at pages 4773 and 4787, respectively. There are no numbered pages between page 995, the last page of Volume I, and page 3501, the first page of Volume II. This allows both volumes to be printed simultaneously. Volume II has been divided into two books because of the number of pages in the volume. Page numbers will run consecutively between the books in the volume. Indexes; lists of Acts, Bills, and Resolutions and their Georgia Laws page numbers; material related to courts; population charts; lists of members of the General Assembly; referendum results; the state auditor's report on funding of retirement bills; and the Governor's veto message are printed in Volume III. Indexes cover material in both Volumes I and II. The tabular indexes list matter by broad categories. The general index is a detailed alphabetical index by subject matter. When possible, general Acts have been indexed by reference to the titles of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated which they amend and the tabular index contains a list of Code sections which have been amended, enacted, or repealed. Each Act and Resolution is preceded by a caption written by the compilers of the Georgia Laws solely to assist the reader in quickly determining the subject matter of the Act or Resolution. This caption includes the Act number assigned by the Governor and the House or Senate Bill or Resolution number which it was given when it was introduced in the General Assembly. These captions are not part of the Act or Resolution when they are enacted or adopted by the General Assembly. Each Act or Resolution which was signed by the Governor is followed by the approval date on which it was signed by the Governor.
