Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024
(1) Summary: This rule outlines the requirements and procedures for determining the validity period, effective date and issue date of certificates and licensure.
(2) Validity Periods. Certificate fields are issued with specific validity periods depending upon the type and title (See GaPSC Rule 505-2-.02 CLASSIFICATION).
(3) Effective Date. The effective date of a certificate level or field is governed by employment, the category of certificate and the date the complete application package is received by the GaPSC. The effective date may also be based on the GaPSC fiscal year or academic school year, which is July 1 through June 30.
(4) Expiration Dates. The expiration date of all certificates, with the exception of Waiver certificates, is June 30 of the final year of validity. The final year of validity is determined by adding the number of years of validity to the calendar year of the effective date of the certificate. For example, a five (5)-year certificate with an effective date of December 10, 2014, would expire on June 30, 2019. A five (5)-year certificate with an effective date of January 1, 2015, would expire on June 30, 2020.
