GA WORKS Licensing Commission
About the GA WORKS Commission
The GA Works Commission is aimed at reducing bureaucratic barriers to employment while emphasizing consumer protection for the citizens which utilize their services. This will occur by streamlining the processes for licensing, pruning redundant and unnecessary licensure requirements, and listening to public testimony on barriers the average Georgian has faced seeking occupational licensure.
