Editor’s notes.
Ga. L. 1995, p. 1348, § 10, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “In the event another Act requiring insurance coverage for child wellness services is enacted by the General Assembly during the 1995 regular session, it is the specific intent of the General Assembly that Sections 3 and 4 of this Act requiring insurance coverage for child wellness services shall be given effect and shall control over the provisions of such other Act requiring such coverage.”
