Official Code of Georgia Annotated/Title 1/Chapter 1/Section 5
Unless otherwise provided, the adoption of this Code shall not invalidate or affect any rules or regulations which were in effect on November 1, 1982, promulgated pursuant to authority given by law, and such rules and regulations shall remain in force until repealed, replaced, or invalidated.
JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Three-minute rule remains unchanged.—Although the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O. C. G. A.) specifically repealed the Code of 1933, the Rules of the Superior Court were not a part of that repealed code even though they “conveniently” appeared therein. The three-minute rule is one of long standing, originally promulgated pursuant to authority given by law and never specifically repealed by the General Assembly. As such, the three-minute rule remains viable and unchanged by the adoption of the O. C. G. A. Hinson v. Castellio, 168 Ga. App. 301, 308 S. E. 2d 705 (1983).
OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Citations in traffic citation form.—Since there exists no requirement that there be citations to any Code sections on the Uniform Traffic Citation Form, the Code of Georgia of 1933 citations presently set forth on the form are mere surplusage; therefore, their removal or repeal by the new Code of Georgia Annotated will have no effect on the validity of the form. 1982 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 82—28.
