Operational steps to review
Verify the bill's current enactment, codification, and effective date with an official Georgia source.
If enacted and applicable, review the final text for disclosures about payment source and contracted-community limits.
Review final requirements concerning client-data sharing and consent.
Confirm any final limit on when referral fees may be collected.
Continue following generally applicable privacy, consumer-protection, facility-licensing, and contract rules.
