HR1944: HR1944 National Black Women's History Month; April; designate

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it is a formal statement from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing April as National Black Women's History Month. The resolution's preamble describes the purpose of the observance, noting the 2026 theme, 'Black Women: Sharing our Stories, Honoring Our Legacies,' and explains that the month is meant to highlight the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black women throughout history. The resolution then formally states that House members recognize April as National Black Women's History Month, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press.

• Formally recognizes April as National Black Women's History Month through a vote of the Georgia House of Representatives.
• Cites the 2026 observance theme, 'Black Women: Sharing our Stories, Honoring Our Legacies,' in its explanatory language.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Creates no new statutory requirements, funding, or penalties since it is a commemorative resolution rather than a law.

The resolution mainly affects the Georgia House of Representatives itself and its Clerk, who must prepare and distribute copies. It also speaks to Black women and communities the resolution seeks to honor, though it creates no enforceable rights or obligations for them.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it does not change Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements on anyone. Its practical effect is symbolic: an official statement of recognition from the House, distributed publicly through the Clerk's office.

• The whereas clauses explain the purpose of National Black Women's History Month, including its 2026 theme.
• The first resolving clause states that House members recognize April as National Black Women's History Month.
• The second resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and press.
