What Georgia law says about recovery services

As of July 1, 2024, Georgia caps CDR ('finder') fees at 30% of the property's value (up from a prior 10% cap on the standard track) and now requires every CDR to register with the Department of Revenue, including a background check, before soliciting or filing claims. Solicitations must carry a mandatory all-caps disclaimer stating it is not an official government notice, and the state's own agreement forms must be used. The 24-month unenforceability window tied to delivery-to-Commissioner comes from the pre-amendment statute text and should be re-confirmed against the current 2024-amended code before relying on it.
