This resolution recognizes February 3, 2026, as Georgia Utility Contractors Association Legislative Awareness Day at the state capitol, commending the Georgia Utility Contractors Association (GUCA) for its work. The GUCA is a 55-year-old non-profit trade association representing the underground utility construction industry, which includes infrastructure for water, sewer, gas, electricity, and telecommunications. The GUCA's mission is to promote safety and responsible installation of new and existing underground utilities, bringing together industry professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss infrastructure development, damage prevention, and safe installation practices. The association's diverse membership includes contractors, developers, engineers, suppliers, and legal and insurance professionals. Through advocacy, education, and information sharing, the GUCA works with government officials and agencies to influence policy and legislation related to safety, regulatory compliance, and the state's underground utility infrastructure needs. The Legislative Awareness Day is an annual event intended to highlight the importance of safety in the industry and provide an opportunity for interaction between GUCA members and state legislators. The Secretary of the Senate is directed to provide a copy of this resolution to the GUCA.
