The Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority was established in 1993 with the legislated mandate of implementing and administering a statewide central index for UCC filings. Since its establishment, the Authority has not only fulfilled its original purpose, but has accepted additional projects at the request of other agencies and the Georgia General Assembly. These projects include administering a statewide index for real estate and personal property records, maintaining the central database of notaries public and administering a statewide database on civil case filings.
