Dolphins smarter than chimps
ATLANTA, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- With the dawn of 2012, those applying for a wide range of benefits in Georgia will need secure identification to prove they are legal residents.
Employers and officials are worried about fallout from the state's strict new immigration law, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Secretary of State Brian Kemp warned applicants for professional licenses may face months of delay.
Judy Paull, chief nursing officer at the Medical Center for Central Georgia in Macon, said some of the 1,700 nurses there might be unable to work if their licenses are not renewed by Jan. 31. She said others could be forced to work overtime to cover for them.
"This is a very serious and worrisome situation," Paull said. "So the best I can do is be constantly reminding people and checking to see how many of our nurses have already renewed and are current on their licensure."
Applicants for energy assistance, unemployment insurance and business loans must also present identification.
