The scholarship’s last submission period, Fall 2020, recently came to a close. We were truly humbled by the amount of applications we received as well as the exceptional high quality of every essay. All of the essays were outstanding. Choosing just one winner was difficult!

The Atlanta Police Department released a statement that they will no longer respond to car accidents that occur in Atlanta city limits where no one was injured. This update was also shared on The Atlanta 311 Facebook page, which has a little under 2,000 followers.

For many, summertime in Atlanta is one of the best seasons to experience the city. There’s something for everyone to do, whether you’re looking to shop, dine, or spend time outdoors. With the COVID-19 pandemic at the forefront of the news and most people’s minds, it’s important to understand how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe this summer.

While you may not be able to experience a traditional Atlanta summer this year, there’s still a lot you and your family and friends can take part in. Before heading out, however, you’ll want to understand what the city is doing in response to the coronavirus and what you need to do as a resident or visitor. Then you can start having some summer fun in Atlanta during COVID-19.

After you go to the hospital to get treated for an injury, it’s normal to receive a bill in the mail. But when the injury was the fault of another party and you’ve filed a personal injury lawsuit against them, you are fighting for that party to be responsible for paying your bills. Your lawsuit will take some time, though, so hospitals might send your outstanding medical bills to bill collectors.

A class action lawsuit is when a plaintiff sues a defendant on behalf of a larger group of people. This happens because sometimes there are too many individual parties involved in the suit to be brought together in one location at the same time, and so one person represents the group in the claim. Typically, a class action lawsuit is between a consumer who represents all consumers and a corporation.

Among the coming year’s law changes in Georgia, the biggest revolves around the enactment of the Pharmacy Anti-Steering and Transparency Act—also referred to as the GA Act. This was put in motion to address the issues around negligent pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and insurers steering patients to pharmacies without regulatory oversight or transparency.

It’s important to note that the GA Act is not the only law going into effect in 2020. If you’re interested in learning more about the law changes coming to Georgia in 2020, you can check out this blog. For now, let’s take a closer look at what the Pharmacy Transparency Act means for healthcare providers and state residents.
