Finally, I'll sign Senate Bill125, sponsored by Again Senator Larry Walker and carried by Representative Lee Hawkins in the House. This bill takes multiple steps in streamlining the licensure process, making it easier to get Georgians in the workforce. It decouples the pathway to licensure for professional engineers and land surveyors, allowing individuals to take their licensing exam after they graduate from educational program and before acquiring their experiential requirements. It authorizes the Secretary of State's office to implement a third party electronic database to monitor compliance of certain licenses where continuing education courses are required for renewal, and it updates language relating to many other critical professions.
