Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia (BOMA Georgia); BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol; February 4, 2025; recognize
House Resolution 853 is a commemorative resolution honoring the Building Owners and Managers Association of Georgia (BOMA Georgia) for its 112-year history and contributions to Georgia’s commercial real estate industry. It recognizes February 4, 2025, as BOMA Georgia Day at the state capitol and highlights the organization’s role in supporting building ownership, property management, related service providers, and the broader commercial real estate sector.
The resolution recites BOMA Georgia’s economic and civic contributions, including its support for an industry said to generate nearly $5.5 billion annually for Georgia’s economy and nearly 50,000 jobs. It also references the BOMA Georgia Foundation, established in 2014, and praises the organization for achievements in diversity and inclusion, sustainability, education, volunteerism, and corporate responsibility. The measure is honorary only and does not create or amend any statutory law.
HR 853 has no direct legal or regulatory effect on Georgia statutes, agencies, or private parties. Its impact is symbolic: it formally commends BOMA Georgia, designates a recognition day at the state capitol, and authorizes the House Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution. The resolution may be used to publicly acknowledge the commercial real estate industry’s role in the state, but it does not change rights, duties, taxes, zoning, property law, or any other state law.
The available context suggests overwhelmingly positive sentiment. The resolution itself is laudatory throughout, emphasizing BOMA Georgia’s longevity, economic importance, charitable work, and national recognition. There are no recorded committee transcripts, no votes, and no indication of opposition or controversy in the provided history, which is consistent with a routine honorary resolution receiving favorable treatment.
No notable policy contention appears in the bill text or the provided legislative history. Because the measure is a ceremonial recognition rather than a substantive policy bill, there are no identified disagreements over regulation, spending, taxation, labor issues, or commercial real estate policy. Any interest in the resolution appears to be limited to celebrating BOMA Georgia and the commercial real estate industry rather than advancing a contested legal change.
