WHEREAS, these individuals represent building ownership, professional property
management firms, professional service providers, and contract services, and BOMA
Georgia members have been instrumental in cementing Georgia as a national leader in
commercial real estate over the past century; and
WHEREAS, BOMA Georgia's educational programs, research, and other resources have
contributed significantly to our state's favorable economic development; and
WHEREAS, for two decades, BOMA Georgia has advocated for and advanced Georgia's
business climate through initiatives such as the passage of HB 1385 in 2006 and SB 377 in
2020, which increased access to building plan reviews and inspections; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments and
history of this extraordinary organization be recognized.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body

## 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 Senate resolution honors the Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia (BOMA Georgia) on its 113th anniversary and declares February 3, 2026, BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol.

### Plain-language summary

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.

### What it does

- Commends the Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia on its 113th anniversary as a trade group for the commercial real estate industry.
- Officially recognizes February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to BOMA Georgia.
- Recites past legislative efforts, including HB 1385 (2006) and SB 377 (2020), that BOMA Georgia supported.

### Who it affects

This resolution mainly affects BOMA Georgia and its members, who include commercial building owners, property management firms, and real estate service providers in Georgia. It does not impose obligations on the public or other businesses.

### Why it matters

The resolution has no legal or regulatory effect; it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose new requirements. Its practical effect is symbolic recognition of an industry group's history and economic role, along with a ceremonial day at the state capitol.

### Key provisions

- The preamble ('whereas' clauses) describes BOMA Georgia's founding in 1913 and its economic impact, including $5.5 billion annually and roughly 55,400 jobs.
- The resolved clause formally commends BOMA Georgia on its 113th anniversary and designates February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol.
- A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to BOMA Georgia for distribution.
