Operative Text
This article shall be known and may be cited as “The Uniform Act for the Application of Building and Fire Related Codes to Existing Buildings.”
O.C.G.A. § 8-2-200 establishes the official short title of a Georgia statute governing how building and fire-related codes are applied to existing buildings. The provision itself does not impose requirements or prohibitions; it simply gives the article a formal name—'The Uniform Act for the Application of Building and Fire Related Codes to Existing Buildings'—by which it can be referenced in legal and regulatory contexts. All substantive rules appear in the sections that follow this naming provision.
