HR 198 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

New Americans Day at the state capitol; February 13, 2025; recognize

This resolution designates February 13, 2025, as "New Americans Day" at the Georgia state capitol to formally recognize the contributions of foreign-born Georgians. It highlights their economic impact (e.g., 1 in 10 Georgians are foreign-born, 20% of entrepreneurs, and $2.5 billion in business income) and roles during the pandemic, without creating new policies or funding. The resolution is purely ceremonial, urging the House to acknowledge these contributions through a symbolic event. It does not impose obligations or alter existing laws.
