According to Article IV, Section 3, which applicants must be given bonus points on state employment examinations?

The requirement to give bonus points on state employment examinations specifically caters to veterans of war, as outlined in Article IV, Section 3 of the Georgia Constitution. This provision recognizes the unique sacrifices and contributions made by veterans to their country and seeks to facilitate their reintegration into civilian life, particularly in securing government employment.

Awarding bonus points serves as an incentive and acknowledgment of their service, thereby promoting equal opportunities for veterans in accessing state jobs. Other groups, while potentially deserving of recognition in different contexts, are not specified in this constitutional provision for these particular employment advantages.
