(a) In any county of this state having a population of 600,000 or more according to the United States decennial census of 1990 or any future such census, the chief judge of the superior court shall be authorized and empowered to provide, by general order published in the official newspaper of the county and also in two other newspapers having general circulation in such county and entered upon the minutes of the court, that all sales of personal property by the sheriff of such county may be held at a place other than at the courthouse where, in the opinion of the chief judge, the holding of such sales before the courthouse door would create an undue traffic hazard or unnecessarily endanger the person or property of persons using the public streets.
(b) No such property shall be sold at a place different from that shown in the advertisement of the sale.
(c) After the issuance of the first general order as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section, the chief judge may from time to time change the place of holding such sales by another general order published as provided in subsection (a) of this Code section.
(d) This Code section shall be supplemental to other provisions of law, with a view towards efficient and orderly handling of sheriff's sales.
(e) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to affect the time, manner, or place of any sale not made by the sheriff but required to be made at the same time, manner, or place as sheriff's sales.
