House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; create ## Text House Resolution 1054 By: Representatives Berry of the 56th, Hugley of the 141st, Park of the 107th, Miller of the 62nd, Mitchell of the 88th, and others A RESOLUTION Creating the House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1); and for other purposes. WHEREAS, the federal budget legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), enacted on July 4, 2025, includes significant reductions and structural changes to federal spending that directly affect the flow of federal funds to states, including support for healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure programs; and WHEREAS, Georgia relies on federal funding as a critical component of its overall budget, and reductions in federal support will place increased pressure on the state's general fund, requiring greater state investment to maintain essential services and avoid shifting costs onto local governments, families, and working people; and WHEREAS, in light of these federal budget reductions and changes, the General Assembly must consider the long-term fiscal outlook of the state when enacting legislation, prioritizing responsible budgeting, protecting core public services, and ensuring that state policies do not exacerbate the impacts of federal disinvestment relative to students, seniors, and vulnerable communities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: (1) Creation of House study committee. There is created the House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). (2) Members and officers.

Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution would create a study committee to examine how the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act's funding cuts could affect Georgia's budget for healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - 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. ### Who it affects 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. ### Why it matters 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. ### Key provisions - Paragraph (1) creates the House Study Committee on the Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). - Paragraph (2) sets membership at seven: five appointed by the Speaker of the House, two by the state auditor, with the Speaker naming the chairperson. - Paragraph (3) directs the committee to study the issues raised and recommend action or legislation as it deems necessary. - Paragraph (5) ties member allowances to O.C.G.A. § 28-1-8, limits paid days to five unless extended, and funds the committee from existing House appropriations. - Paragraph (6) requires any findings or legislative recommendations to be approved by majority vote of a quorum before filing with the Clerk of the House. - Paragraph (7) sets the committee's abolishment date as December 1, 2026. ## Status - Status: Introduced (2026-01-27) - Last action: House Second Readers (2026-01-29) - Sponsors: Bryce Berry, Carolyn Hugley, Samuel Park, Tanya Miller, Billy Mitchell, Jasmine Clark - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/72382 > The history, votes, and amendments (129 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1054.md?full=1
