Georgia Professional Licensing Boards

On March 31, 2026, the United States reached a settlement agreement resolving allegations that forty-two Georgia Professional Licensing Boards violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) by failing to recognize the out-of-state professional licenses of servicemembers and their spouses.  This settlement is the first of its kind and will provide up to $3 million in compensation to servicemembers and military spouses whose applications for licensure were improperly denied or delayed. The settlement also requires the Georgia Boards to adopt new policies that comply with the SCRA and provide a streamlined application process for servicemembers and military spouses who are already licensed in another state.
