O.C.G.A. § 33-23-200: Legislative findings; licensing of health insurance navigators.

The General Assembly finds that the provisions of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may cause the formation of health insurance exchanges operating in Georgia under federal law and employing navigators or navigator entities whose role will be to direct individuals and companies to health insurance policies. The General Assembly further finds that licensing and regulation of such navigators or navigator entities to ensure that they are trained and knowledgeable in the subject matter of individual and group health insurance plans and insurance coverage is necessary to avoid substantial risk to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of this state.
