Abstract
The most significant change in the Georgia juvenile justice system made by the 1980 general assembly is that effected by Senate Bill 489 which adds a new chapter, 24A-23A, to the Juvenile Court Code. This legislation establishes a new category of offenses called designated felony acts, and sets up a special schedule of dispositions to go with it. Because of their importance, the provisions of the new chapter will be set forth in some detail before discussing their impact.
