On the second Monday of each January, Georgia’s 180 members of the House of Representatives and 56 Senators convene in the State Capitol. During each 40 day session, legislation is introduced which could, if it becomes law, affect you, your business and the entire factory-built housing industry.
Our industry’s continued visibility to legislators is vital. One of the primary ways we maintain that visibility is through the Georgia Manufactured Housing Political Action Committee (GMHPAC).
The elected officials who recognize the importance of the factory-built housing industry to Georgia’s overall economic growth, and who work to ensure that their constituents have the option to live in the home of their choice, including factory-built homes, need our support.
