Wrapping up the legislative session
Kevin Tanner
Rep. Kevin Tanner, R-Dawsonville.
On March 15, my House colleagues and I completed Legislative Day 35 and our tenth week of the 2018 legislative session. Legislative Day 40 is the last day the House will take up business for the year, and since we only had a few days left to wrap up our legislative work, last week was extremely busy in committees, and our agendas were very full as we reviewed and passed Senate measures in the House Chamber. Last week, the House passed a critical measure that seeks to better coordinate state health care policies in an effort to address the unique health challenges facing our state. Senate Bill 357, also known as “The Health Act,” would establish the Health Coordination and Innovation Council of the State of Georgia under the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget to streamline and coordinate all components of our state’s health care system.
