Georgia Gestational Diabetes Management Act; enact

The bill was amended from a standard legislative text to a committee substitute version, indicating the House Committee on Public and Community Health reviewed and modified the bill. The primary change is the addition of a committee substitute header identifying the sponsors (Representatives Seabaugh, Cooper, Mathis, Taylor, Reese, and others), which is a procedural update rather than a substantive policy change. No specific policy, funding, or eligibility changes are visible in this excerpt.

The House Committee on Public and Community Health submitted a substitute version of HB 352 that extends the Medicaid coverage start date for continuous glucose monitors from July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2025. This change delays when the state must begin covering these diabetes monitoring devices, likely to allow more time for budget planning or to align with other healthcare funding decisions.
