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.
