AI Summary
- Amends Code Section 15-6-3 to change the superior court term dates for six counties in the Waycross Circuit: Bacon, Brantley, Charlton, Coffee, Pierce, and Ware counties
- Shifts court terms generally earlier in the calendar year, compressing the schedule so that terms across the six counties run from February through October rather than spanning January through December
- Removes the prior provision that court terms beginning on official state holidays would commence the following Tuesday and that courts would close for holidays during a term
- Adds a new provision allowing the grand jury to be impaneled on a date and time scheduled by the court rather than requiring impanelment on the first day of each new term
- Effective date of January 1, 2019
