Georgia advocates rally for full enforcement of “historic” MH parity law

Mental health advocates from across Georgia gathered at the state Capitol last week for a “Rally for Parity,” urging Insurance Commissioner John King to fully enforce the state's Mental Health Parity Act, HB 1013. The rally comes on the heels of King's announcement that his office will fine 22 health insurance companies a combined $20'million for over 6,000 violations of the law — marking the first major enforcement action since the legislation was signed in 2022.
