R. 762 - 2 - ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally recognizes the Atlanta Apartment Association on its 50th anniversary for its work supporting housing providers and multifamily housing across the state. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Atlanta Apartment Association, a trade group representing housing providers and professionals in the multifamily housing industry, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary since founding in 1975. The resolution recites the Association's history, including its role in promoting housing industry best practices, professional development, and advocacy, as well as its philanthropic partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank, through which members have contributed more than 140 million meals. It does not change any Georgia law; it simply commends the Association and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to the organization. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the Atlanta Apartment Association on its 50th anniversary of serving Georgia since 1975. - States the House's appreciation for the Association's role in supporting affordable and quality housing and the multifamily housing industry. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the Association. - Creates no new legal requirements, funding, or penalties, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a change to Georgia law. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the Atlanta Apartment Association and its members, who represent housing providers and professionals in Georgia's multifamily housing industry. It has no regulatory effect on renters, landlords, or other Georgians beyond this formal recognition. ### Why it matters The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight: it publicly honors an industry association's 50-year history in Georgia but does not alter housing law, create funding, or impose any new requirements on landlords, tenants, or state agencies. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses recount the Association's history since 1975 and its work supporting housing providers and professional development in the industry. - One whereas clause notes members have contributed more than 140 million meals to the Atlanta Community Food Bank through a long-running philanthropic partnership. - The resolved clause formally commends the Association and extends best wishes for its continued success. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to the Association. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-03-27) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2025-03-27) - Sponsors: Bruce Williamson, Chuck Efstration, Jan Jones, Houston Gaines, Marcus Wiedower - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/71740 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr762.md?full=1
