HR1683: HR1683 Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia (BOMA Georgia); BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol; February 3, 2026; recognize

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors BOMA Georgia, a trade group for the commercial real estate industry founded in 1913 as BOMA-Atlanta. The resolution recounts the organization's history, including its role in supporting an industry the text says contributes nearly $5.5 billion a year to Georgia's economy and nearly 50,000 jobs, and its advocacy for laws such as HB 1385 in 2006 and SB 377 in 2020 that expanded access to building plan reviews and inspections. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally commends BOMA Georgia on its 113th anniversary, recognizes February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the organization.

• Commends the Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia on its 113th anniversary as an organization.
• Designates February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to BOMA Georgia.

• The resolved clause formally commends BOMA Georgia and designates February 3, 2026, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available to BOMA Georgia.
