Every license in force and effect under the former provisions of this article, relating to cashing checks, drafts, or money orders for consideration, on July 1, 2014, shall remain in full force and effect on July 1, 2014, and all such existing licensees shall be required to renew their licenses pursuant to Code Section 7-1-704.

## History

Code 1981, § 7-1-709.2, enacted by Ga. L. 2014, p. 251, § 2/HB 982; Ga. L. 2015, p. 5, § 7/HB 90; Ga. L. 2016, p. 864, § 7/HB 737.

## Code Commission Notes

Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 2014, “July 1, 2014,” was substituted for “the date of enactment of this article” and “July 1, 2014” was substituted for “the effective date of this article” in this Code section.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2015, p. 5, § 7/HB 90, incorrectly referenced the language near the beginning of this Code section as “Article 4 of Chapter 1 of this title.”
