In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It commends BOMA Georgia, a trade group for the commercial real estate industry founded in 1913, for its role in the state's economy and business climate over the past century. The resolution recites the industry's economic impact, including nearly $5.5 billion contributed annually and about 55,400 jobs supported, and credits BOMA Georgia with helping pass past legislation such as HB 1385 in 2006 and SB 377 in 2020. It formally designates February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the organization.
