The Office of State Administration Hearings (OSHA) is an organization enacted by the State of Georgia to conduct the initial or final hearings in disputed cases for other state agencies. Some of the OSAH customers include the citizens of the State of Georgia, the Board of Regents, the Office of the Governor and the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners.
The Chief State Administrative law Judge (Chief ALJ) administers the OSAH. The Chief ALJ resides for a term of six years and is appointed by the Governor. Despite being able to be removed by the Governor for cause, the Chief ALJ possesses the authority to appoint any OSAH personnel, institute rules for administration, and to circulate rules and regulations that govern the operations of OSAH.
The current Chief ALJ is Ms. Lois Oakley. She was appointed to the position and has been serving since 2000.
