✅ Current Status
No active regulations remain under Department 545.
Functions previously under this Board have likely been transferred elsewhere or discontinued.
📖 Where to Go From Here
For any ongoing licensure or regulatory oversight regarding recreation professionals, refer to the current supervising entity (e.g., a different Board or Department) as the Georgia Board of Recreation Examiners no longer exists.
For historical context or archival review, official documentation up to repeal can be accessed via the Georgia Secretary of State’s Rules & Regulations site or archived PDFs (rules.sos.ga.gov, rules.sos.ga.gov).
