This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill) expressing Georgia's support for HR 4052, which proposes creating a National Infrastructure Bank. It cites Georgia's infrastructure challenges - like $2.7 billion in wastewater needs, 31,000 lead service lines in Atlanta, and a shortage of 214,000 affordable housing units - to advocate for federal legislation that would fund infrastructure projects using existing Treasury debt (no new taxes/appropriations). The resolution urges Georgia's congressional delegation to support HR 4052 but does not create any new policies or funding itself.

This resolution creates a Senate Study Committee focused on improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists in Georgia. It addresses rising pedestrian and cyclist fatalities (with Georgia ranked 6th most dangerous state for pedestrians in 2022), current laws that often treat pedestrian strikes as minor offenses, and gaps in enforcement and reporting. The committee will study these issues and recommend legislative changes to strengthen penalties, improve enforcement, and prioritize safety infrastructure. The committee, composed of five Senate members appointed by the President, must submit findings by December 2025. This is a procedural step to research solutions, not a law that changes policy directly.
