# O.C.G.A. § 33-30-1.1. Applicability.

This chapter shall apply to policies of insurance, certificates evidencing coverage under a policy of insurance, or any other evidence of insurance, issued by an insurer, delivered, or issued for delivery in this state except for policies issued to an employer in another state which provides coverage for employees of this state employed by such employer policyholder.

## History

Code 1981, § 33-30-1.1, enacted by Ga. L. 1997, p. 1462, § 6.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 1997, p. 1462, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that that Act, which enacted this Code section, is intended to comply with the requirements of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104-191, as well as to provide an acceptable alternative mechanism for the availability of individual health insurance coverage as contemplated by that federal Act; and further provides that the Act shall be narrowly construed to achieve such purpose without otherwise limiting the state’s legislative or regulatory powers with respect to insurance.
