Summary of SR 15 (2026 Session) – Georgia

Purpose and Intent

  • SR 15 is a resolutions bill in the Georgia Senate titled “Wood, Ronald D.; condolences.”
  • The primary aim appears to be expressing condolences, typically to recognize the life and contributions of a named individual (Ronald D. Wood) and to extend sympathies to his family and loved ones.
  • As a Senate resolution, its function is ceremonial and commemorative rather than substantive governance or policy change.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • The bill would officially acknowledge and honor the late Ronald D. Wood. Specific language would typically include:
    • Statements recognizing his achievements, service, or impact.
    • Expressions of sympathy to his family and friends.
    • A formal record of the Senate’s condolences.
  • Co-sponsors listed:
    • Donzella James
    • Doc Rhett
  • The bill does not appear to propose funding, regulatory changes, statutory amendments, or policy shifts. It is a symbolic gesture within the Senate chamber.

Who or What Would Be Affected

  • Affected party: Ronald D. Wood (the individual honored in the condolences resolution) and his family, as well as the broader Senate body and Georgia constituents who view the recognition.
  • The impact is primarily ceremonial and commemorative, with no direct fiscal or regulatory obligations for state agencies or the public.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Action History indicates: Senate Hopper on June 22, 2026.
    • The Senate Hopper is the stage where bills (and resolutions) are formally introduced and assigned to committees; it often represents advancement toward consideration by the full Senate.
  • Being a condolence resolution, it is typically non-controversial and fast-tracking is common, though final passage would still require formal readings and a vote by the Senate.
  • As a resolution, it does not become law or affect existing statutes; it is a formal record of sentiment.

Additional Notes

  • The bill text provided appears to be a fragmented or non-textual data snippet (likely a PDF or encoding issue), but the bill’s title and sponsor information indicate its ceremonial purpose.
  • Co-sponsors help reflect bipartisan or cross-chamber support, though the substantive impact remains non-legislative.
