As defined by 1981 Opinion of the Attorney General Number 81-23, the legislative intent of O.C.G.A. 45-2-40 is:
To insure that the prospective employee will be physically capable of carrying out the duties of his or her appointment;
To protect the prospective employee from possible harmful effects associated with his employment, which may arise by virtue of a particular preexisting physical malady; and
To protect the state from potential liability under workers' compensation laws for conditions arising after employment, but caused in whole or part by preexisting physical conditions.
Additionally, the MAPEP is designed to provide a consistent, job-related process for determining and applying the medical and physical standards of the state and to provide for administrative procedures that are straightforward, clear and minimal.
