House Study Committee on Gamecock Fighting in Georgia; create
This bill creates a temporary House Study Committee to investigate gamecock fighting in Georgia, a blood sport involving trained chickens that is currently legal in the state but illegal federally. The committee will consist of five representatives appointed by the Speaker and Minority Leader to examine the conditions, issues, and potential policy recommendations related to this activity. The group will meet for up to five days and receive standard legislative allowances, with the committee automatically dissolving on December 1, 2026. This is a procedural measure focused on research and study rather than immediate legislative action or policy change.
