Fertility Awareness Week; July 27-Aug 2, 2026; recognize
This resolution (HR 1471) symbolically recognizes July 27-August 2, 2026, as "Fertility Awareness Week" in Georgia. It does not create new laws or policies but formally acknowledges the prevalence of infertility (affecting roughly 1 in 6 people) and related health challenges, including disparities impacting Black women and people with disabilities. The resolution references Georgia’s existing support for fertility care, including the 2025 passage of HB 428, which affirms IVF access. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect on legislation or services.
