# O.C.G.A. § 33-50-12. Legislative intent.

It is the intent of the General Assembly that a multiple employer self-insured health plan be created and maintained by and for the benefit of participating employers and operated under their exclusive management and control. This chapter is not intended to permit third-party administrators or other entrepreneurial promoters to establish a trust or plan and then proceed to solicit employers as participants. It is specifically intended that the impetus for the creation of the plan must come from the employers themselves, and the employers must at all times exercise absolute control over the management and conduct of the plan’s business and affairs.
