The enactment of this Code is intended as a recodification, revision,
modernization, and reenactment of the general laws of the State of Georgia
which are currently of force and is intended, where possible, to resolve
conflicts which exist in the law and to repeal those laws which are obsolete
as a result of the passage of time or other causes, which have been declared
unconstitutional or invalid, or which have been superseded by the enactment of later laws. Except as otherwise specifically provided by particular
provisions of this Code, the enactment of this Code by the General
Assembly is not intended to alter the substantive law in existence on the
effective date of this Code.
