HR 426 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

General Assembly; support creation of a Black Maternal Health Caucus; urge

This resolution urges the Georgia General Assembly to create a Black Maternal Health Caucus. It directly addresses Georgia's severe maternal health disparities, where Black women face three times the pregnancy-related death rate of white women and live in areas with limited maternity care access. The resolution outlines the need for a dedicated legislative group to research and recommend evidence-based policies to reduce preventable deaths and improve outcomes for Black mothers and infants. It does not create new laws but proposes a framework for the legislature to address systemic healthcare inequities through coordinated policy efforts.
