How household-goods moving costs vary in Georgia
State-specific code or insurance rule: Georgia transferred intrastate household-goods regulatory authority to the Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) Motor Carrier Compliance Division — making Georgia one of the few states where intrastate HHG carriers are regulated by the state law-enforcement agency rather than a Public Service Commission or DOT — and Georgia DPS Motor Carrier Compliance Division focuses primarily on commercial vehicle safety enforcement and Operating Authority permitting, with HHG consumer protection enforcement primarily through Georgia Office of Consumer Protection (Office of the Attorney General) under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393 (Georgia Fair Business Practices Act).
