ATLANTA — Some Georgia Republicans want to take legal action against possible federal legislation on health care reform.
The state Senate Judiciary Committee passed three resolutions Monday that would question the constitutionality of federal health care legislation. The resolutions now go to the Senate floor for discussion.
Sen. Seth Harp, R-Midland, Ga., proposed an amendment to the state constitution that specifies federal health care mandates as unconstitutional.
