Maddy summaryThis resolution creates a 7-member House Study Committee to examine how federal budget changes in the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) affect Georgia’s state budget and services. The committee, appointed by the Speaker and state auditor, will study impacts on healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure funding, with a December 1, 2026, deadline to report findings. It has no authority to enact policy - only to analyze effects and recommend legislation if needed. This is a procedural step, not a policy change.

The resolution serves as a symbolic tribute to honor their sacrifice, which historically contributed to safety reforms like OSHA's creation. As a commemorative measure, it does not enact new laws or policies.
