Bill > HB444

This bill adds a new provision to Georgia's legal code designating April of each year as "Georgia Native Plant Month". By creating this official monthly designation, the bill aims to recognize and draw attention to the importance of native plants in the state. Native plants are species that naturally occur in a specific region and have evolved to thrive in local environmental conditions. While the bill does not mandate specific activities or create a legal holiday with time off work, it provides an official state recognition that could help raise public awareness about the ecological significance of native plant species. The bill follows a standard legislative format by adding the new designation to Chapter 4 of Title 1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which covers state holidays and observances, and includes a standard clause repealing any laws that might conflict with this new provision.
