SB 204 amends Code section 5-6-43 of the OCGA. It states
that within 30 days of filing the notice of appeal, the clerk of trial court
should prepare a complete copy of the entire record with a copy of the notice
of appeal, date of filing, and transcript of evidence. Exceptions for
extensions of time allow the clerk to notify the judge, appellant, and appellee
in writing three days if for good cause the clerk is unable to transmit the
filing within 30 days. When the judge receives written notification, he or she
shall issue an order establishing schedule for the transmittal of the record
and transcript. Failure to meet these deadlines will be issued as contempt of
court. |
