Bill > SR292

This resolution authorizes the Senate Special Committee on Investigations to expand its investigative scope to examine matters related to organizations associated with Stacey Abrams, specifically focusing on alleged campaign finance violations and potential misuse of funds. The committee is granted comprehensive investigative powers, including the ability to administer oaths, subpoena witnesses, compel the production of documents, and take depositions. The resolution builds upon a previous Senate Resolution 5 and maintains the same committee membership and procedural rules. The committee is empowered to investigate potential legal and ethical issues surrounding the New Georgia Project, New Georgia Action Fund, and other related organizations, with the aim of determining whether existing state laws need strengthening and if there are inappropriate connections between political activities and federal funding. Any findings must be approved by a majority vote of the committee and can include recommendations for legislative changes or appropriation adjustments. The necessary funding for these investigations will come from funds already appropriated to the Senate, and the committee's chairperson is required to file a report of their findings with the Secretary of the Senate, either including specific recommendations or detailing the committee's meeting minutes.
