AI Summary
- Requires Georgia professional licensing boards to issue expedited licenses by endorsement to spouses of service members or transitioning service members stationed in Georgia who hold a current, equivalent license in good standing from another state

- Repeals profession-specific military spouse reciprocal licensing provisions for electrical contractors, journeyman plumbers, conditioned air contractors, utility foremen, and residential/general contractors, consolidating them under the new general provision
- Preserves existing licensing compacts entered into by Georgia, specifying the new provisions shall not invalidate, override, or amend any such agreements
