HR1199: HR1199 Georgia Association of Community Care Providers; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Georgia Association of Community Care Providers (GACCP), a group representing home and community-based service providers across the state. The resolution describes how GACCP members deliver care through Medicaid waiver programs such as the ICWP, EDWP, NOW, and COMP waivers, which let people with disabilities and aging populations receive care at home instead of in institutions, including in underserved and rural areas. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose new requirements. It simply has the House recognize and commend GACCP for its work, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization.

• Formally recognizes and commends the Georgia Association of Community Care Providers for its work with disabled, complex-needs, and aging Georgians.
• States the House's view that home and community-based services help people stay in their homes rather than institutions, saving taxpayer money.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to GACCP.
• Creates no new legal requirements, funding, or changes to Georgia law; it is a symbolic statement of praise.

The Georgia Association of Community Care Providers and its member organizations, which serve people with disabilities, complex care needs, and aging populations, especially in rural and underserved areas of Georgia, are the direct subjects of this honorary resolution.

Because this is a commendation rather than a law, it does not change Medicaid waiver programs, funding, or care requirements. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition of GACCP's role in providing home and community-based care across Georgia.

• The preamble (WHEREAS clauses) describes GACCP's role in providing home and community-based services through Medicaid waiver programs including the ICWP, EDWP, NOW, and COMP waivers.
• The resolved clause has the House recognize and commend GACCP for its commitment to compassionate, high-quality care.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to GACCP.
