Bill > SB40

This bill repeals two existing Georgia laws: Code Section 31-1-40, which prohibited state funds, resources, or personnel from being used to advocate for or influence citizens in favor of expanding Medicaid eligibility under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often called Obamacare), and Code Section 33-1-23, which prevented state entities from establishing or operating health insurance exchanges or accepting federal funds for them, with some exceptions for the Insurance Commissioner and existing grants. The repeal of these sections effectively removes these prohibitions, potentially allowing the state to engage in activities related to the Affordable Care Act's expansion of medical assistance and health insurance marketplaces.
