In one paragraph
Georgia's HB 887 (2023-2024 session) would have barred coverage determinations, healthcare actions and public-assistance decisions based solely on the results of AI or automated decision tools, and required that such decisions be meaningfully reviewed by an individual with authority to override the tool. It would also have required the Georgia Composite Medical Board to adopt rules, including for disciplining physicians who do not comply. The bill reached House Second Readers on January 11, 2024 and died when the 2023-2024 session ended.
