Bill > HR947

This resolution creates a five-member House Study Committee to investigate the delays in permit issuance for the Five Points MARTA Station rehabilitation project in Atlanta. The committee, to be appointed by the House Speaker who will also designate a chairperson, will examine the conditions, needs, and issues surrounding the permit delays that have impeded the infrastructure project. The committee is authorized to conduct meetings as needed, with members receiving standard legislative allowances for up to five days (with potential extension). The committee is tasked with recommending any necessary actions or legislation and must file a report, either including proposed legislation recommendations or meeting minutes, by December 1, 2025, when the committee will be automatically abolished. The resolution highlights the project's importance, noting that the station rehabilitation is critical due to water damage, structural integrity concerns, and the need to prepare for upcoming major events in Georgia, with the state having already invested transit trust fund dollars in the project.
