Last week, our Chamber Board signed and sent a letter to Georgia State House Defense & Veterans Affairs Committee Chair, Josh Bonner in support of the military souse license portability policy language in HB 880.

The policy minimizes delays in spouses getting to work and starting that second income stream. View detailed 2024 Priorities
