Bill > SB312

This bill establishes the Georgia Peach Walk of Fame Advisory Council within the Department of Economic Development, creating a 15-member council appointed by the Governor to represent professionals and organizations in Georgia's entertainment industry. The advisory council's primary purpose is to advise the General Assembly on creating and maintaining the Georgia Peach Walk of Fame, which will honor notable individuals from motion pictures, television, radio, recording, live theater and performance, and sports entertainment. Council members will serve two-year terms, meet at least quarterly, and receive expenses but no compensation. The council's responsibilities include conducting public hearings, consulting industry experts, determining the Walk of Fame's location, recommending individuals for inclusion, and publishing a website with information about potential and current honorees. Members must be full-time Georgia residents, and the council will elect its own leadership, including a chairperson, vice chairperson, treasurer, and secretary. By June 30, 2026, and annually thereafter, the council must submit a report to the Governor and General Assembly detailing its activities, funding status, and recommendations for new inductees. The council may also solicit and accept donations and grants to support its work.
