Georgias Community Health Worker Certification Bill Faces Uncertain Fate
House Bill 291, sponsored by Representative Darlene Taylor, aims to establish statewide standards for community health workers in Georgia. The bill, which has passed the House and cleared the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, has been blocked in the Senate Rules Committee. The bill would require criminal background checks, set training rules, and create certification for these workers, enabling them to get paid reliably, including through Medicaid paths. Lawmakers and advocates are pushing for the bill, but with the legislative session set to end on Thursday, the bills future remains uncertain.
