GA WORKS Licensing Commission

Growing All Workforce Opportunities by Remaking the Scope of Licensing Commission

About the GA WORKS Commission

GA Works LogoThe 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.
