HR 1382: Georgia Runs on Trucking Day; March 18, 2026; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes March 18, 2026 as Georgia Runs on Trucking Day, citing the trucking industry's role in moving freight, supporting jobs, and paying wages across Georgia. The resolution directs that trucking industry members, including commercial vehicles and professional drivers, will be present at the State Capitol that day for an educational display. It also instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Trucking Association. The resolution does not create any new requirements, funding, or penalties; it simply expresses the House's recognition and appreciation of the industry.

• Designates March 18, 2026 as Georgia Runs on Trucking Day at the Georgia State Capitol.
• Commends Georgia's trucking professionals and companies for their service to the state, without creating any legal obligation.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Trucking Association.
• Notes that trucking industry members will display commercial vehicles and equipment at the Capitol on the recognized day.

The resolution primarily affects the Georgia Trucking Association and the state's trucking companies and professional drivers, who are being honored. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must distribute a copy of the resolution.

While this resolution carries no legal weight or funding, it publicly highlights the trucking industry's role in Georgia's economy and creates an occasion for lawmakers and the public to interact with truckers and their equipment at the State Capitol.

• The resolving clause recognizes March 18, 2026 as Georgia Runs on Trucking Day at the State Capitol and commends trucking professionals and companies.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to provide a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Trucking Association.
• The whereas clauses cite statistics such as the industry supporting more than 333,000 jobs and paying $19.3 billion annually in wages, though these are background statements rather than binding provisions.
