As part of Georgia's final rules effective July 6, 2026, the state adopted Rule 80-3-1-.07, retitled Subject 80-3-1, amended several money transmission rules, repealed or reserved some sections, and adopted new Subjects 80-3-2 through 80-3-6. This is one of the clearest actionable state money transmitter developments in the window.

What changed

Georgia materially reworked its money transmission rule structure through new adopted subjects, amended provisions, and repealed or reserved sections.

Compliance perspective

Georgia money transmitter licensees and applicants should review the new chapter structure line by line against their current policies, NMLS disclosures, authorized delegate controls, and reporting processes. A general state law matrix will not be enough here because chapter-level changes can affect forms, operational procedures, and exam readiness.

Key date

Effective date: July 6, 2026.
