In 2023, The Georgia Supreme Court held that the regulation of Lactation Consultants was unconstitutional under the Georgia Constitution. You can review the opinion by clicking here (link https://www.gasupreme.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/s23a0017.pdf)

With this decision, the Board of Lactation Consultants ceased to have legal authority to regulate the practice here in Georgia. Thus, the board has been disbanded.

For those practitioners who had been licensed, that license is no longer required for you work in the state. We thank you for the opportunity to work with you in your career. Those who wish to become a lactation consultant, a license is no longer required for you to work in Georgia helping new mothers and their children.
