SR 744: Stilettos on Steel Day; recognize May 2, 2026

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes May 2, 2026 as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the Georgia State Capitol. The resolution describes Stilettos on Steel, a national organization for female motorcyclists, and its Newnan, Georgia chapter, which was founded in July 2023 and has 44 members. It notes the chapter's community work, including support for local charities and police programs, and highlights the chapter's planned all-female motorcycle ride through Coweta, Troup, and Meriwether counties on May 2, 2026, escorted by law enforcement, with proceeds going to the Coweta County Sheriff's Department's bicycle build-off program for teenage girls. The Senate directs its Secretary to send a copy of the resolution to the Newnan chapter.

• Formally designates May 2, 2026 as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the Georgia State Capitol.
• Recognizes the Newnan Chapter of Stilettos on Steel and its community service activities, including support for local charities and police programs.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Stilettos on Steel of Newnan, Georgia.
• Does not create any new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a symbolic honor.

The resolution directly names the Newnan Chapter of Stilettos on Steel, a group of female motorcyclists, and mentions local partners such as the Coweta County Sheriff's Department, Newnan and Hogansville Police Departments, and several charities the chapter supports.

The resolution carries no legal or financial effect on Georgians generally. Its practical impact is limited to public recognition of the Newnan chapter's charitable ride and community work, giving the group formal acknowledgment from the state Senate.

• The resolution's whereas clauses describe Stilettos on Steel's national mission and the Newnan Chapter's founding, membership, and charitable activities.
• The resolved clause designates May 2, 2026 as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the Georgia State Capitol.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute a copy of the resolution to the Newnan chapter.
