# O.C.G.A. § 12-5-45. Judgment in accordance with division’s order.

The division may file in the superior court in the county in which the person under order resides, or in the county in which the violation occurred or, if the person is a corporation, in the county in which the corporation maintains its principal place of business, a certified copy of a final order of the director or the administrative law judge unappealed from or of a final order of the administrative law judge affirmed upon appeal, whereupon the court shall render judgment in accordance therewith and notify the parties. The judgment shall have the same effect, and all proceedings in relation thereto shall thereafter be the same, as though the judgment had been rendered in an action duly heard and determined by the court.
