# O.C.G.A. § 38-2-110. Governor as militia commander in chief; issuance and effect of regulations.

The Governor shall be the commander in chief of the militia of the state. The Governor is authorized to issue regulations for the government of the militia. Regulations issued by the Governor shall have the same force and effect as this chapter, but they shall conform to the laws and regulations of the United States relating to the organization, discipline, and training of the militia; to this chapter; and, as nearly as practicable, to the laws and regulations governing the army, navy, and air force of the United States. The rules and regulations in force on February 2, 1955, not inconsistent with this chapter, shall remain in force until new rules and regulations are approved and promulgated.
