SR48: SR48 Gwinnett Chamber Day; recognize January 28, 2025

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It designates January 28, 2025, as Gwinnett Chamber Day at the state capitol in honor of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, which has represented Gwinnett County businesses since 1947. The resolution lists the chamber's accomplishments, including its five-star accreditation from the United States Chamber of Commerce, a 2023 'Chamber of the Year' award, its membership size, and its recently renovated headquarters. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the chamber. The resolution does not create any new laws, funding, or requirements.
