In plain language
This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes the first HOA, COA, and POA Day at the Capitol, an event where residents of homeowners associations, condominium owners associations, and property owners associations came to the Georgia Capitol to speak with senators about issues in their communities. The resolution states that the Senate commits to listening to homeowner concerns about transparency, accountability, affordability, communication, and due process within these associations. It commends the homeowners who took part in the event for their civic engagement, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
