House Study Committee on Diabetes Related Amputations; create

This bill creates a House Study Committee on Diabetes Related Amputations to investigate the causes and impacts of limb loss due to diabetes in Georgia, particularly affecting underserved and rural communities. The committee will consist of 13 members including state representatives, medical professionals, health officials, and two patients, who will analyze data, evaluate current care practices, and identify barriers to prevention and treatment. The group is authorized to hold up to four meetings and will submit a report with findings and policy recommendations by December 1, 2026, which will be made publicly available. Funding for the committee comes from existing House appropriations, with specific expense allowances for non-legislative members. The resolution aims to establish a data-driven foundation for future legislative action to improve diabetes outcomes and reduce preventable amputations across the state.
