Many emergency departments are beginning to return to pre-pandemic volumes. There has been minimal activity on Governor Kemp's Covid-19 Task Force, but many entities around the state are beginning to return to full capacity. Schools around our John L. Sy, DO, MS, FACEP state have opened or are about to open. It is more President, GCEP important now than ever before to be vigilant. No one is immune, not even the President of the United States (POTUS). We need to focus on physician wellness for our colleagues and ourselves.

FEB 27: Stop Gerrymandering Now! - Atlanta, GA Mon Feb 27Th 4:00Pm - 8:00Pm Atlantagageorgiavoting 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, GA 30334, USA Map
FEB 27: Stop Gerrymandering Now! - Atlanta, GA Mon Feb 27th 4:00pm - 8:00pm AtlantaGAGeorgiaVoting 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, GA 30334, USA map Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, calling for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts. The hearing for these resolutions will be at the last minute before crossover day, on Monday Feb 27 at 4 pm in room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building. We need to show up at the meeting and demand a vote that day. Our votes matter! We demand fair and equal representation! Partisan legislatures have been violating federal mandate for decades, by drawing voting district boundaries to favor the party in power. It’s called Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering undermines fair representation and competitive elections. Gerrymandered districts cheat voters by making some votes count more than others. It’s not hard to see that partisan legislators have a vested interested in the outcome. The good news is Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, which call for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts instead of the General Assembly. Georgia would join 6 other forward-looking states if it adopted the independent commission approach to redistricting. More good news is that Senator Ben Watson of the Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the resolutions. But, the hearing is at the 11 th hour before Crossover Day, when bills in each house must crossover to the other house for consideration.

2019 GACSB Legislative Update
Legislative Session Update - Legislative Day 25 Cross-Over Day is Coming, Legislative Day 28 Alert All legislation must advance from its chamber of origin in order to complete the legislative process this legislative session. Bills not crossing to the other chamber are active for the 2020 legislative session. Action of the Week Medicaid Waivers The Senate approved SB 106 this week. Introduced by Sen. Blake Tillery, this is Gov. Brian Kemp’s health care legislation surrounding waivers. SB 106, also known as the 'Patients First Act,' would authorize the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) to submit a Section 1115 waiver to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to expand the number of Georgians who are insured by Georgia’s Medicaid program. Furthermore, the legislation would allow the Administration to submit a Section 1332 waiver to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services to get permission to find innovative ways to provide residents with access to affordable quality health care. A waiver granted from the U.S. HHS Department would allow Georgia to use the Medicaid expansion funds to buy private insurance in the state health insurance exchange for eligible Georgia citizens at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Preexposure (PrEP) to HIV Pilot Program HB 290 by Rep. Sharon Cooper, which establishes a three-year pilot program to provide pre-exposure prophylaxis drug assistance or services to persons at risk of being infected with HIV, was approved by the House and moves to the Senate. Out of Network Billing The Senate Rules Committee is expected to pass SB 56 early next week.
