In plain language
This House resolution does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally celebrates the first HOA, COA, and POA Day at the capitol, an event where residents living in communities governed by Homeowners Associations, Condominium Owners Associations, and Property Owners Associations came to the State Capitol to raise concerns with lawmakers. The resolution states that the House recognizes homeowners' concerns about transparency, accountability, communication, affordability, and due process within these association-governed communities. It affirms the House's commitment to listening to homeowners and working across party lines on issues affecting housing stability. It also commends the homeowners who attended and directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
