EDITOR'S NOTE: The Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Corrections (125) were originally filed and effective on December 31, 1969. By Certification filed by the Board of Offender Rehabilitation (415) with the Office of Secretary of State on July 7, 1978, the State Board of Corrections was abolished and its policy-making functions and its power to make rules and regulations were transferred to the Board of Offender Rehabilitation. Georgia Law 1985, p. 283, Section 1 changed the name of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, the Board of Offender Rehabilitation, and the Commissioner of Offender Rehabilitation to the Department of Corrections, Board of Corrections, and the Commissioner of Corrections, respectively, amending sections throughout all codes to conform to this change. By Certification, the Official Compilation Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia has been amended to reflect the name changes. Officials from the Department of Corrections (Board of Offender Rehabilitation) have expressed a prerogative to re-use Control Number 125, previously assigned to the "State Board of Corrections," abolished in 1976. Therefore, Control Number 125 has been assigned to the "Board of Corrections" and any reference to Control Number 125 will be with the "Board of Corrections". Consequently, all reference to the abolished "State Board of Corrections" (125) will be chronicled with that acknowledgement.
