OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Purpose of provisions.

- Intention of Ga. L. 1960, p. 1172, §§ 1-5 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 43-1-9 through43-1-13) was to require that qualifying veterans be allowed a preference in grants of professional licenses or certificates of registration. 1976 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 76-21.

Provisions mandatory, leaving board no discretion.

- As each section employs the word "shall" in the statute's provisions, Ga. L. 1960, p. 1172, §§ 1-5 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 43-1-9 through43-1-13) were mandatory and allows the board no discretion in application of preference points in appropriate cases. 1976 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 76-21.

Veterans' preference points should be credited to examination scores of eligible candidates for registration by the State Board of Examination, Qualification, and Registration of Architects. 1976 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 76-21.

Board should ascertain numerical score when "fail" grade is reported.

- Board should consult with the board's grading service to determine if a numerical score could be provided in those cases in which a "fail" grade is presently reported; the board might also consider the possibility of grading the board's own examinations to determine a numerical score. 1976 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 76-21.
