Editor’s notes.
Ga. L. 1997, p. 1462, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that the Act, which amended this Code section, is intended to comply with the requirements of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104-191, as well as to provide an acceptable alternative mechanism for the availability of individual health insurance coverage as contemplated by that federal Act. Section 1 further provides that the Georgia Act shall be narrowly construed to achieve such purpose without otherwise limiting the state’s legislative or regulatory powers with respect to insurance.
