Georgia House and Senate Announce Deal on Autism Bill
Friday, March 27th, 2015
An autism insurance bill considered dead just a day ago has new life.
Key legislators from the House and Senate say they have agreed on a compromise and will push a measure through this session.
State Sen. Charlie Bethel, a Republican from Dalton, and Rep. Richard Smith, a Republican from Columbus, said Thursday they have agreed on a deal that will use a 0.2 percent general tax to finance autism insurance.
