# O.C.G.A. § 45-7-23. Reimbursement for relocation expenses — Conditions.

Before the reimbursement of expenses to transferred employees may take place, the following conditions must be satisfied:

(1) The department which employs the person transferred must certify that the move was in the best interest of the department and that the expenses incurred are reasonable and proper; and

(2) The employee must sign an agreement that he will remain employed by the department in the location to which the move was made for a period of not less than one year following the effective date of the move, unless separated or transferred for reasons beyond his control and acceptable to the department concerned. In case of violation of such agreement, any funds expended by the state for expense reimbursement will be recoverable from the employee concerned as a debt due the state.
