Overview

Georgia Senate Resolution 391 created the Senate Study Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Currency as a Georgia Senate study committee for the 2025-2026 legislative session. The measure was adopted by the Senate on April 2, 2025, with the Senate Research Office summary listing a 52-0 vote and a December 1, 2025 sunset date. As of June 9, 2026, this profile treats SR 391 as an expired study committee rather than an active digital-asset regulatory regime.

For crypto-law readers, SR 391 is best understood as a policy-scoping measure. It did not establish a licensing framework, custody rule, stablecoin law, money-transmission amendment, or state crypto reserve. Instead, it created a temporary Senate vehicle to study artificial intelligence, digital currency, and their current or future use in Georgia, with possible recommendations for future action or legislation.

Status and timeline for Georgia SR 391

SR 391 entered the Senate hopper on March 13, 2025, was read and referred on March 18, favorably reported by substitute from the Senate Rules Committee on March 21, read a second time on March 25, and passed or was adopted by substitute on April 2, 2025. The Senate Research Office’s post-session summary lists the study committee under “Study Committees,” identifies Sen. John Albers of the 56th Senate District as Senate sponsor, and records the 52-0 Senate vote.

The Senate’s 2025 Special and Study Committees page listed SR 391 under Senate study committees but showed “Appointments: Not Appointed.” Because the same official summary listed a December 1, 2025 sunset date, the committee appears to have expired by its own terms unless later Senate action extended or re-created the mandate. No separate SR 391 final report was located during this review.

Why the SR 391 profile matters

State study committees can shape later legislative proposals even when the committee resolution does not directly regulate market participants. SR 391 sat alongside other Georgia AI and digital-asset proposals in the 2025 session, including measures relating to state AI governance and proposed state bitcoin investment authority. NCSL’s 2025 digital-assets legislation tracker listed Georgia’s SR 391 as adopted and summarized it as creating the Senate Study Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Currency.

Editors should avoid describing SR 391 as a crypto law that imposed obligations on exchanges, custodians, miners, wallet providers, or token issuers. A more accurate description is that Georgia adopted a Senate resolution to study AI and digital currency policy questions, with the study committee mandate expiring on December 1, 2025. Any future Georgia bill inspired by SR 391 should be profiled separately.

Editorial status note

This profile is date-sensitive. Before publication, editors should confirm whether the Georgia Senate later appointed members, published a report outside the main committee page, or carried forward any digital-currency recommendations in a successor measure. As drafted, the profile reflects public official and high-confidence legislative tracking sources reviewed on June 9, 2026.

Editorial note

SR 391 is a Senate resolution creating a temporary study committee, not a binding crypto regulatory framework. Status is mapped to Expired because the official Senate summary lists a December 1, 2025 sunset date.

Type is mapped to Bill because the controlled law-type taxonomy has no Resolution or Study Committee term.
