SR1053: SR1053 Trump, President Donald J.; commend

Last action March 27, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution commends President Donald J. Trump for federal housing policy actions, including executive orders on mortgage credit and home construction regulation, aimed at making homeownership more affordable.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to Georgia law. It praises President Donald J. Trump for a series of federal executive actions related to housing affordability, including an executive order limiting large investors from competing with families for single-family homes, changes to HUD's fair housing rules, rescinded Federal Housing Administration regulations, and two March 2026 executive orders on removing regulatory barriers to home construction and promoting access to mortgage credit. The resolution formally states that the Georgia Senate commends the President for these efforts to reduce regulatory burdens, expand housing supply, and modernize the mortgage process. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. It does not create any new Georgia statute, program, funding, or penalty.

What the bill does

  • Formally commends President Donald J. Trump on behalf of the Georgia Senate for a list of federal housing and mortgage policy actions.
  • Recites a series of federal executive orders and HUD/FHA regulatory actions as background but does not enact any Georgia law itself.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.
  • Does not create funding, penalties, agencies, or changes to the Official Code of Georgia.

Who it affects

This resolution primarily affects the Georgia Senate itself as a symbolic statement; it does not impose obligations on Georgia residents, businesses, or agencies. It references federal actions affecting homebuyers, mortgage lenders, HUD, and the Federal Housing Administration nationally.

Why it matters

Because this is a commendatory resolution rather than binding legislation, it does not change any Georgia law, funding, or regulation. Its practical effect is limited to expressing the Senate's position and directing copies to be distributed publicly.

Key provisions

  • The preamble (whereas clauses) recounts federal executive orders and HUD/FHA actions related to housing affordability and mortgage regulation, dated from January 2025 through March 2026.
