HR 1944: 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 explains the reasoning behind the designation, citing the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black women throughout history, and notes the 2026 celebration theme, 'Black Women: Sharing our Stories, Honoring Our Legacies.' The operative part of the resolution simply has the House recognize April as this observance and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press. It does not create any program, funding, or legal requirement.

• Has the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognize April as National Black Women's History Month.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Creates no new law, funding, or enforceable requirement, since it is a symbolic resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia statutes.

This resolution primarily affects the Georgia House of Representatives itself, as it is a symbolic statement rather than a binding law. It also touches the Clerk of the House, who is directed to distribute copies, and broadly recognizes Black women in Georgia and beyond.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements on anyone. Its practical effect is limited to a formal, public acknowledgment by the House of the contributions of Black women.

• The preamble (the 'WHEREAS' clauses) explains the reasoning for the designation, referencing Black women's contributions and the 2026 theme, 'Black Women: Sharing our Stories, Honoring Our Legacies.'
• The resolving clause has the House of Representatives recognize April as National Black Women's History Month.
• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press.
