The House Committee on Rules on April 21 introduced LC 4,882, a committee measure that would add the U.S. Space Force to the list of components of the Armed Forces of the United States.
Vice Chair Pham moved to introduce LC 4,882 as a committee bill; the motion carried by voice vote. Chair Bowman announced the motion passed after members recorded affirmative responses: Representative Bossard Davis, Representative Elmer, Rosemary Sprout, President Paul Rom, Vice Chair Draven, Vice Chair Pham and Chair Bowman all indicated “aye” or “yes.” The measure was introduced as a committee bill.
The committee chair explicitly noted that a vote to introduce is procedural and “does not imply support for the measure.” No further debate or amendment was recorded in the transcript; the committee proceeded to the next scheduled public hearing.
The introduction creates a committee-sponsored vehicle for further consideration in the legislative process but does not itself enact policy or change any statutes.
