Maddy summaryHR 713 is a resolution urging Georgia healthcare providers to include information about the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in their patient call recordings. It asks providers to add this national mental health crisis resource (which connects callers to Georgia’s 24/7 Georgia Crisis and Access Line) to existing recorded messages, similar to how they currently direct patients to 911 for emergencies. The resolution also requests the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health to develop a standard script for providers to use. This is a non-binding recommendation, not a law, and directly affects healthcare facilities across Georgia that use automated phone messages for patients.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a resolution that formally recognizes and honors the cultural contributions of Field Mob, a musical duo from Albany, Georgia. It acknowledges their role as pioneers who brought national attention to rural South Georgia artists and highlighted the region's culture through their music. The resolution directs the House Clerk to provide copies of the document to Shawn Jay and Smoke as a gesture of appreciation. This is a ceremonial measure rather than a law that changes government policy or regulations.
