Abstract

The Act changes the design and the description of the Georgia state flag, replacing the official flag adopted by the Georgia General Assembly in 2001. The Act also calls for an advisory referendum in 2004 for voters to determine whether the General Assembly should keep the 2003 design or revert back to the 2001 design. The Act requires the Secretary of State to call for that referendum and to certify the results to the Governor and the General Assembly. The Act further provides that if any portion of the Act is unconstitutional, the other sections of the Act shall remain in full force.
