History

Code 1981, § 33-21-20.1, enacted by Ga. L. 2004, p. 493, § 7; Ga. L. 2009, p. 453, § 1-40/HB 228; Ga. L. 2019, p. 386, § 2/SB 133. The 2019 amendment, effective July 1, 2019, rewrote the first sentence, which formerly read: ‘‘On May 13, 2004, all health maintenance organizations meeting the requirements of subsection (b.1) of Code Section 33-21-3 shall not be subject

to regulation by the commissioner of human resources (now known as the commissioner of community health for these purposes).’’, and, in the second sentence, substituted ‘‘Commissioner’s’’ for ‘‘Commissioner of Insurance’s’’ at the beginning, deleted a semicolon following ‘‘community health’’ in the middle, and deleted ‘‘of Insurance’’ following ‘‘Commissioner’’ at the end.
