SR595: SR595 HOA, COA, and POA Day; recognize and celebrate

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes and celebrates the first HOA, COA, and POA Day at the Capitol, an event where Georgians who live in communities governed by Homeowners Associations, Condominium Owners Associations, and Property Owners Associations came to share concerns with lawmakers. The Senate states that homeowners have raised issues about transparency, accountability, affordability, communication, and due process within these association-governed communities. The resolution affirms the Senate's commitment to listening to these concerns regardless of party and commends the homeowners who took part in the event. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.

• Formally recognizes and celebrates the first HOA, COA, and POA Day at the Capitol as a civic engagement event.
• States the Senate's commitment to listening to homeowners' concerns about their association-governed communities without regard to party.
• Commends the homeowners who participated in the event for their civic involvement and advocacy.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
• Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute or regulation affecting HOAs, COAs, or POAs.

The resolution speaks to Georgians who live in neighborhoods governed by Homeowners Associations, Condominium Owners Associations, or Property Owners Associations, and to the homeowners who attended the Capitol event to share concerns with senators.

Because this is a resolution rather than a law, it does not change any rights, rules, or requirements for homeowners or associations. Its main effect is symbolic: it publicly acknowledges homeowner concerns and signals possible future legislative attention to HOA, COA, and POA governance issues.

• The resolution's whereas clauses describe homeowner concerns about transparency, accountability, affordability, communication, and due process in association-governed communities.
• The first resolving clause recognizes and celebrates the first HOA, COA, and POA Day at the Capitol as a civic engagement event.
• The second resolving clause affirms the Senate's commitment to listening to homeowners and working across party lines on housing stability and community governance issues.
• The third resolving clause commends the homeowners who participated in the event.
• The final resolving clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
