SR611: SR611 Georgia Association of Community Care Providers; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors the Georgia Association of Community Care Providers (GACCP), which represents organizations that deliver home and community-based services to people with disabilities, complex care needs, and older adults across Georgia. The resolution notes that GACCP member providers deliver care through Medicaid waiver programs such as the ICWP, EDWP, NOW, and COMP waivers, which let people receive care at home rather than in institutions. It also notes many of these providers work in underserved and rural areas. The Senate directs its Secretary to provide a copy of the resolution to the association as a formal recognition.
