HR 1704 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House Study Committee on Dangerous Animal Attacks and Animal Control Resources in Rural Georgia; create

This bill creates a House Study Committee to examine dangerous animal attacks and animal control resources in rural Georgia. The committee will consist of 11 House members appointed by the Speaker and will study issues related to dog ownership laws, liability for attacks by stray or ownerless dogs, and the lack of compensation systems for victims. The committee will hold meetings, receive funding from House appropriations, and submit a report with findings or legislative recommendations before being abolished on December 1, 2026. This is a procedural resolution that establishes a temporary study group rather than implementing specific policy changes itself.
