Summary

House Resolution 1022 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Georgia 4-H members, leaders, volunteers, and award recipients for the 2025-2026 program year. It commends the State 4-H President, the State 4-H Leader/Director of 4-H, district presidents, National 4-H Conference delegates, and several state and national award winners for accomplishments in leadership, citizenship, competition, and service. The resolution also designates February 26, 2026, as 4-H Day at the state capitol. The measure does not create or amend any substantive law, impose requirements, or appropriate funds. Its effect is limited to official recognition by the House of Representatives and authorization for the Clerk to distribute copies to the public and press. The resolution primarily serves to celebrate youth development and volunteer service associated with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and Georgia 4-H.

Impact

HR 1022 has no direct impact on state statutes, regulations, or agency authority. It is a nonbinding commemorative resolution that formally recognizes individual achievements within Georgia 4-H and establishes a symbolic observance, 4-H Day at the state capitol, on February 26, 2026. The practical effect is public recognition and promotion of the 4-H program rather than any legal change affecting residents, schools, or state agencies.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text reflects unanimous praise for youth leadership, volunteerism, and competitive accomplishments, and there is no recorded committee debate or vote history indicating opposition. The resolution appears to have broad goodwill support as a recognition measure for a well-regarded youth development organization.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely honorary, it does not present policy disputes over funding, regulation, or legal authority. Any discussion would likely center on the merits of recognizing 4-H participants and volunteers, but no objections or competing viewpoints are included in the provided materials.
