Georgia criminal code books and abbreviations

Georgia offenses are cited to one main law book:

  • Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA, O.C.G.A.). Sections are written as title-chapter-section (16-5-21), for example 16-5-21, 40-6-391, 16-13-30. Official code site

What this page does not do

  • It does not look up a person, a booking or a case.
  • It does not say what a charge will lead to; the prosecutor decides what is filed.
  • Georgia does not publish a free page for every section, so some results link the official code index.
  • It collects nothing; what you type stays in your browser.
