Heard County adopts West Georgia Judicial Circuit intergovernmental agreement

Heard County commissioners voted unanimously on March 18 to adopt and sign the West Georgia Judicial Circuit Intergovernmental Agreement, a multi-year arrangement the county says will streamline coordination of judicial services. The agreement is effective Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2029, aligning the county’s obligations with the appointment term of the juvenile court judge and referencing ACT 615 (SB 424) as the statutory basis for the required intergovernmental arrangements.
