Maddy summaryThis is a symbolic resolution (not a bill) expressing Georgia's support for HR 4052, which proposes creating a National Infrastructure Bank. It cites Georgia's infrastructure challenges - like $2.7 billion in wastewater needs, 31,000 lead service lines in Atlanta, and a shortage of 214,000 affordable housing units - to advocate for federal legislation that would fund infrastructure projects using existing Treasury debt (no new taxes/appropriations). The resolution urges Georgia's congressional delegation to support HR 4052 but does not create any new policies or funding itself.
