O.C.G.A. 14-10-11 (2010)
14-10-11. Severance of connection with association required upon legal disqualification of member to render professional service; effect of failure to comply

If any member, shareholder, agent, or employee of a professional association becomes legally disqualified to render a professional service within this state or accepts employment or is elected to a public office which, pursuant to existing law, is a restriction or limitation upon the rendering of professional service, he shall sever all employment with, or financial interest in, such professional association forthwith. A professional association's failure to comply or require compliance with this requirement shall be a ground for the forfeiture of its right to render professional service as a professional association pursuant to this chapter. When a professional association's failure to comply with this requirement is brought to the attention of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall certify that fact to the Attorney General for appropriate action to dissolve the professional association.
