HB1013 greatly expands government controlled mental healthcare. It hands unprecedented powers from people to the government, raises healthcare premiums, forces churches and other insurance providers to cover transgender surgeries, potentially creates a “red flag” type law to strip people of their 2nd amendment rights without due process, keeps pedophiles from going to jail, aligns mental health diagnoses with the WHO, and provides that someone could be locked up and be stripped of their rights against their will with nothing more than a reasonable belief that they could “potentially” need mental health treatment in the near future.
The Georgia State House of Representatives passed H1013 on March 8, 2022 by a vote of 169 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation is a gross expansion of government and threatens our rights and liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution. This legislation has deep Marxist roots and unequivocally is just one more step closer to socialism.
