HR1304: HR1304 ERA day in the state of Georgia; February 24, 2026; recognize

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives designates February 24, 2026, as ERA Day in the state of Georgia. It does not change any Georgia law; instead it formally recognizes the day in honor of women's suffrage and Equal Rights Amendment advocates, citing groups like the League of Women Voters and the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus. The resolution states that ERA Day highlights ongoing issues such as economic security, reproductive health, and political representation for women. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press. As a resolution rather than a bill, it carries symbolic weight but does not create any new legal requirements, funding, or penalties.
