Can I ensure that my company is compliant with expanding privacy protections in Georgia? What are the requirements?

To ensure that your company is compliant with expanding privacy protections in Georgia, you must comply with Chapter 39 of Title 33 and all other applicable Georgia laws, as well as Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.) and other applicable federal laws to the extent said federal laws set forth standards that are either in addition to, or stricter than, the consumer protections in Georgia law ^[1.1]. Additionally, any person or entity subject to this regulation shall comply with the requirements set forth in GARR Rule 120-2-87-.03, which implements Chapter 39 of Title 33 and provides an interpretive ruling to carry out the responsibilities of the Commissioner of Insurance under Sections 505 and 507 of Subtitle A of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ^[1.2].

Foreign limited liability companies transacting business in Georgia must obtain a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State within 30 days of the commencement of business in Georgia ^[2.1].
