HR 1054: House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; create

Congress passed a federal budget law called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) on July 4, 2025, which reduces and restructures federal spending in ways that affect how much money flows to states like Georgia. This resolution would set up a House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to look at how those federal changes could strain Georgia's budget, particularly for healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure programs. The seven-member committee would include five members picked by the Speaker of the House and two picked by the state auditor, with the Speaker naming the chairperson. The committee would study the issue and recommend legislation, meet as needed, and receive standard legislative allowances for up to five days of meetings. Any report would need majority approval before the committee is abolished on December 1, 2026.

• Creates the House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) to examine federal budget cuts' impact on Georgia.
• Sets committee membership at seven, with five appointed by the Speaker of the House and two by the state auditor.
• Authorizes the committee to study the issue and recommend legislation or other action it deems necessary.
• Grants legislative members standard daily allowances under O.C.G.A. § 28-1-8, capped at five days unless more are authorized.
• Funds the committee from money already appropriated to the House of Representatives.
• Abolishes the committee on December 1, 2026, requiring any report to be approved by majority vote before that date.

State lawmakers appointed to the committee, the state auditor's office (which appoints two members), and indirectly Georgians who rely on state-funded healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure programs that could be affected by reduced federal funding.

If federal funding for healthcare, education, housing, or infrastructure programs shrinks under the federal law, Georgia's state budget could face new pressure to cover the gap. This committee would study those risks and could recommend legislative responses before its December 2026 deadline.
