SR 1053: Trump, President Donald J.; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes any Georgia statute. It praises President Donald J. Trump for a series of federal executive orders and agency actions related to housing affordability, including efforts to reduce regulatory burdens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, limit institutional investors from buying up single-family homes, remove barriers to home construction, and modernize mortgage processes through digital signatures and remote notarization. The resolution recites a list of these federal actions in its 'whereas' clauses, then formally states that the Georgia Senate commends the President for this work. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create any new Georgia rule, program, or funding.

• Formally commends President Donald J. Trump for federal housing and mortgage policy actions, with no binding legal effect.
• Recites a list of federal executive orders and HUD actions related to housing affordability and mortgage regulation as background.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Does not amend any Georgia statute, create funding, or impose any requirement on Georgia agencies or residents.

This resolution does not directly regulate any group. It speaks generally to the Georgia Senate's own view of federal housing policy and instructs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies publicly.

Because this is a commendatory resolution rather than a law, it does not change any rule, program, or funding in Georgia. Its practical effect is limited to expressing the Senate's position and making the statement publicly available.

• The 'whereas' clauses describe multiple federal executive orders, including one from January 20, 2026 aimed at limiting institutional investors' purchases of single-family homes.
• The resolution references a March 13, 2026 executive order, 'Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction,' directing federal agencies to ease housing development rules.
• It references a second March 13, 2026 executive order, 'Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit,' aimed at modernizing mortgage practices like digital signatures and remote notarization.
• The resolved clause formally commends President Trump for these housing affordability efforts on behalf of the Georgia Senate.
• The final clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press.
