Annotations

Editor’s notes. Ga. L. 1981, p. 1898, § 5, not codified by

the General Assembly, provided that that Act, § 3 of which amended this Code section, was not to be applicable to the Georgia Real Estate Commission and its functions, powers, and duties.

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 through 43-1-13) 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 through 431-13) 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, Qualifi-

cation, 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 numeri-

cal 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.
