Bill > HB718

This bill amends Georgia's state law to designate the first week of April each year as "Women's Golf Week" and provides a legislative context for this designation. The bill includes legislative findings that highlight the growing participation of women in golf, noting that 23 percent of golfers are now women and challenging the outdated notion that golf stands for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden." By creating this official week of recognition, the bill aims to celebrate and draw attention to women's involvement in golf in Georgia, acknowledging the sport's increasing popularity among female players. The legislation adds a new section to Chapter 4 of Title 1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, which covers holidays and observances, and includes a standard clause repealing any laws that might conflict with this new act.
