HR1383: HR1383 Georgia General Aviation Airports; an industry association for general aviation airports in the State of Georgia and its corporate affiliates; commend

This is a commendatory resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Association of Georgia General Aviation Airports (AGGAA), a nonprofit founded in 2021 to promote general aviation airports, share information and education, and push for legislation that helps expand airport infrastructure across Georgia. The resolution states that Georgia has 95 general aviation airports contributing more than $2 billion to the state's economy, and that AGGAA provides educational, scholarship, and networking opportunities for people in the industry. It names the organization's board members and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to AGGAA. The resolution has no regulatory or funding effect.
