2021 Georgia Code|Title 50 - State Government|Chapter 18 - State Printing and Documents|Article 2 - Court Reports|§ 50-18-32. Production and Sale of Reports to Citizens; Liability for Not Having Reports in Stock; Opportunity to Explain Failure to Panel

  In addition to the reports to be furnished to the state as previously provided, the publisher shall produce a sufficient number for sale to the citizens of the state. The publisher shall at all times during his contract keep on hand in the capital city of the state an adequate supply of the reports such publisher has published during that contract period for sale to the citizens of the state and to the state when it so requires.   In the event the publisher does not have in stock any report published during the contract period that is needed by the state or any citizen of the state, the reporter shall, upon notice to the publisher, declare the contract breached; and the publisher shall become liable to the state for a sum, to be assessed by the reporter, payable to the state for each week that the report is not available but in no event shall the total of the sum assessed by the reporter exceed the amount of the publisher's bond. In the event of undue delay, the reporter may declare the contract ended. The bond given by the publisher shall be liable for any sum assessed.   The reporter, prior to declaring the contract breached, shall seek the advice of a panel composed of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, an appointee of the Governor who is not the Attorney General, the executive counsel, and the legislative counsel. The publisher shall have an opportunity to appear before this panel to explain the reason for his failure to have in stock a particular volume and to avoid liability for any sum which may be assessed against him. The panel can decide to provide the publisher an extended period of time to produce the required volumes of reports, or it may declare the publisher liable for a sum assessed by the reporter; and, if the reporter has so requested, it may declare the contract with the publisher ended. In any case, the decision of the panel is final.    (Ga. L. 1920, p. 237, § 9; Code 1933, § 90-222; Code 1933, § 90-212, enacted by Ga. L. 1972, p. 460, § 1; Ga. L. 1982, p. 892, §§ 1, 4; Ga.

  Upon delivery of the volumes of each report to the proper recipient, the publisher shall present to the reporter an itemized statement of charges for which the state is liable.

The payment shall be made from funds appropriated to the courts by the General Assembly for the publication and distribution of the reports of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals.

  As used in this Code section, the term "governing body" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Code Section 50-18-99.   Video recordings from law enforcement body-worn devices or devices located on or inside of law enforcement vehicles shall be retained for 180 days from the date of such recording except:   If such recording is part of a criminal investigation, shows a vehicular accident, shows the detainment or arrest of an individual, or shows a law enforcement officer's use of force, it shall be retained for 30 months from the date of such recording; and   If such recording contains evidence that is or can reasonably be anticipated to be necessary for pending litigation, it shall be retained for 30 months from the date of such recording, and if litigation is commenced during such period it shall be retained until a final adjudication of such litigation.
