Legislative Research Commission Note. This section was repealed by act of the 1976
Extraordinary Session of the General Assembly (Acts Ex. Sess. 1976, ch. 17, § 52). It was also amended (Acts Ex. Sess. 1976, ch. 14, § 52). Since Acts 1976 (Ex. Sess.), ch. 14 was signed by the Governor later than Acts ch. 17, it prevails.
