Among the measures getting Kemp's signature was a bill sponsored by State Rep. Matt Dubnik of Gainesville. House Bill (HB) 287 amends portions of the state's so-called PTIP program. (Read more at the link below).
"Today, we signed healthcare legislation into law to improve access, lower costs, and increase the quality of care for countless Georgians – no matter their zip code." Kemp said during the ceremony. "By giving cancer patients access to the treatment they desperately need, incentivizing competition, removing bureaucratic obstacles to quality care and establishing innovative pilot projects to combat debilitating illnesses, Georgia will continue to lead on health care."
