Bill > SR890

This resolution establishes the Senate Study Committee on Protecting Free and Fair Markets in Georgia, a group of five senators appointed by the President of the Senate, to investigate concerns about concentrated economic power in the state. The committee will examine Georgia's current antitrust laws, the extent of economic concentration in key sectors like housing, technology, agriculture, healthcare, and retail, and the impact of large entities owning single-family homes. It will also study how other states are addressing similar issues through antitrust enforcement and merger reviews, and consider potential legislative or policy changes Georgia could adopt to promote competition, protect consumers, small businesses, and home ownership, with a reporting deadline of December 1, 2026.
