Does Georgia have its own ESA law?

What the law says

Georgia's Fair Housing Law (O.C.G.A. §§ 8-3-200 et seq.) tracks the federal FHA reasonable-accommodation duty; Georgia has no ESA-specific statute.

In plain language

Not a dedicated one — Georgia’s Fair Housing Law mirrors the federal FHA, so the reasonable-accommodation duty that covers emotional-support animals applies in Georgia, but the state has no separate ESA statute or ESA-fraud law. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider is what supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult a Georgia-licensed attorney about your situation.
