An

particularly by an Act approved April 13, 2001 (Ga. L. 2001, p. 3765), is
amended by striking Section 5A in its entirety and inserting in its place a new
Section 5A to read as follows:
"SECTION

The
solicitor-general of the State Court of Liberty County shall be paid a minimum
annual salary in an amount equal to two-thirds of the minimum annual salary set
by Section 4 of this Act for the judge of the State Court of Liberty County,
together with such other supplements, if any, as may be deemed appropriate from
time to time by the governing authority of Liberty County. Said salary shall be
paid in equal monthly installments from the funds of Liberty County and shall
be in lieu of all fees which the solicitor-general has heretofore received
except those provided in Section 6. In the absence or disqualification of the
solicitor-general, the judge of the state court shall appoint a
solicitor-general pro tempore, who shall be paid the amount on a pro rata basis
which the solicitor-general would have received had said solicitor-general been
serving."

judge for the State Court of Liberty County as a full-time position and
providing for the nonpartisan election of such office.
