SR 995 is a Senate resolution commending the Honda Georgia Transmission Plant in Tallapoosa, Georgia, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. The resolution recognizes the plant’s growth since its establishment in 2006, noting that it has expanded into a 575,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility with more than $600 million in cumulative capital investment.
The resolution highlights the plant’s role in producing Honda’s 10-speed automatic transmissions and its annual production capacity, as well as its importance as a regional employer providing jobs for nearly 480 associates. It also praises the plant’s employees for their community involvement, including charitable efforts and support for rural health care programs, and concludes by extending best wishes for continued success.
Impact
SR 995 does not change state law or create any new legal requirements. It is a ceremonial resolution that formally recognizes a private employer and manufacturing facility, and it authorizes the Senate Secretary to distribute copies to the public and press. Its practical effect is limited to public commendation and acknowledgment of the plant’s economic and community contributions.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text itself is entirely laudatory, and there is no recorded committee debate or vote history suggesting opposition or controversy. The resolution reflects appreciation for the plant’s investment, employment, and community service in Haralson County and the surrounding region.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the measure is a nonbinding commendation resolution, it does not appear to have generated policy disagreement, fiscal concerns, or statutory debate. The only substantive emphasis is on honoring the plant’s economic impact and community involvement.
