What Article 185¹ of the Administrative Offences Code covers
Article 185¹ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes administrative liability for failing to report a person's death, in the manner established by law, to the State Services Development Agency. The norm is addressed to persons engaged in activities connected with death — the heads and authorised representatives of medical, social-service and other institutions. The breach entails a fine of 500 GEL.
The article protects a public interest: information about deaths is one of the pillars of the state registration system, and its timely provision is a duty established by law. Failure to notify is a sanctioned breach of that duty.
