Official Code of Georgia
(Redirected from Official Code of Georgia Annotated)
The Official Code of Georgia Annotated or OCGA is the compendium of all laws in the U.S. state of Georgia. Section 1–1–1 states that:
The statutory portion of the codification of Georgia laws prepared by the Code Revision Commission and the Michie Company pursuant to a contract entered into on June 19, 1978, is enacted and shall have the effect of statutes enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia. The statutory portion of such codification shall be merged with annotations, captions, catchlines, history lines, editorial notes, cross-references, indices, title and chapter analyses, and other materials pursuant to the contract and shall be published by authority of the state pursuant to such contract and when so published shall be known and may be cited as the 'Official Code of Georgia Annotated'.
It is to the state what the United States Code (USC) is to the federal government.
