Georgia fixes wording errors and updates numbering across its official code of laws

The act reenacts the legal text of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated under state law and lists what is not adopted. It covers the Official Code of Georgia Annotated published by LEXIS Publishing, including its 2025 supplements and revised volumes. Not adopted: case annotations, research references, captions, catchlines, headings, history lines, editorial notes, indices, and the text of the U.S. and Georgia constitutions and state agency rules. The act does not repeal or change any law outside the code unless it was superseded by conflict. If Sections 1 through 54 conflict with another act of the 2026 regular session, the other act controls. The status data lists an effective date of July 1, 2026.

The act makes hundreds of small wording, punctuation, and cross-reference corrections in many sections of the code. It covers sections across the code, including alcoholic beverages, banking, education, elections, the General Assembly, taxation, and others. Some edits use terms such as "chairperson" in place of "chairman" in laws about the General Assembly. Several education sections change "High-demand" to "High-Demand" and rename a program in cross-references.

The act redesignates some code sections and chapters, marks several as reserved or repealed, and deletes a few phrases. It covers selected sections of the code, including parts of Titles 12, 16, 20, 44, and 48. One edit deletes a sentence in Code Section 44-1-16(b) about no cause of action for failure to disclose certain real estate information, and another deletes a phrase in the sports sex-discrimination law (Code Section 20-2-315) tied to who the prevailing party is. Code Section 44-6-207 is redesignated as 44-6-200.1.
