GA SB162

Georgia Composite Medical Board must modify its data management system by January 1, 2027 to automate licensing for physicians, physician assistants, and anesthesiologist assistants, with expansion to other board-licensed healthcare providers by the same date

Creates a single statewide verification process allowing healthcare providers credentialed at one facility to be available to all Georgia healthcare facilities without additional credentialing

Healthcare facilities may customize the system to add their own credentialing requirements beyond state licensing standards

Physicians, physician assistants, and anesthesiologist assistants would be available for employment immediately upon meeting all licensing requirements through administrative approval

Act only takes effect if the General Assembly specifically appropriates funding, and automatically repeals on December 31, 2030 if no funding is provided
