AFutureNotAPast SB304 Testimony


Perfecting the Language

There's a committee substitute in the works for SB 304. It does not open the prostitution criminal code section at all but is an alternative way to connect child victims of commercial sexual exploitation with much needed restorative services. It instead charts a clear path for child sex trafficking victims through juvenile court, and recognizes the child s status as a victim of sexual exploitation. Revised language will ensure child victims are admitted into the statewide system of care, while preserving the child s eligibility for victim compensation funds.


What You Can Do

Please call the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and ask them to support the Committee Substitute to Senate Bill 304 & bring it up for a vote soon! Names and Numbers atRead More

As a national transportation center, Atlanta unwittingly provides a venue for child sexual forced labor. There are countless convenient ways to traffic children in and out of the city to be exploited by a revolving market of customers who travel to and from Atlanta for business and sporting events.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
