To amend Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to insurance, so as to provide that no health care plan to be established by this state through an exchange pursuant to certain federal health care reform legislation shall offer abortion coverage, with certain exceptions; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
