    HB 520, the so called “Mental Health Bill” was one of the first bills to be passed this session by Georgia’s House.   Notably passing with only three “No” votes.     

    Watchdogs are asking, Why the speed?  Why No Questions surrounding such a complex and concerning piece of legislation?  Just one example of such a communique'....

    WORDS MATTER

    Especially When it Comes to government legislation Impacting YOUR Family!

    Did you know that Georgia House Bill-520 creates:

    • The right for the government to confine a family member, including a minor, to a State mental health facility for evaluation based on testimony from at least two individuals whose identity would be concealed (lines 473-478 of the bill).
    • Immunity from ALL liability for mental health care providers and treatment deemed criminal or negligent (lines 582-585 of the bill).
    • The ability for the government and private companies to monitor family members diagnosed with mental health needs (lines 748-751,759-761,764). Lines 762-763 state: “Identify ways to use and share existing data for business intelligence and predictive analytic opportunities.”
    • Housing accommodations for criminal offenders that includes a federal and private donor landlord incentive program (lines 1081-1104 of the bill).
    • NO auditing process for the millions of Georgia taxpayer $$$ to be spent on mental health administration, programs, marketing, prescriptions, a new mental health professional and patient government database, student loan forgiveness, Medicaid expansion and more (refer to the bill link below).

    If passed, HB-520 becomes Georgia law based on a definition of mental health that does not exist and will not be created until December 1, 2023 (lines 93-95)!

    The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.

    What happened ... did Kemp & company join the Biden Administration by taking our privacy away...our rights. I guess Georgia did turn blue. Maybe I need to live in a red state. Currently I have NO US senators. My US rep is not available..voice mail.
    I live in a conservative part of the country. So...Lt. Gov. Burt Jones...what are we going to do about this power grab?

    Gov. Kemp attended the World Economic Forum this year in Davos, Switzerland. It should be no surprise we are seeing bills like this.
