HR 1031 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's facility dogs and their Canines For Kids Program; commend

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) passed by the Georgia House of Representatives to commend Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Canines For Kids Program. It recognizes the program's work since 2009, where 16 trained facility dogs provide emotional support to pediatric patients across four hospitals. The resolution has no policy changes or funding impact - it simply expresses formal praise for the program's role in comforting young patients during medical treatments. The House adopted it as a gesture of appreciation with no new obligations for the state or program.
