SR69: SR69 FFA Day; recognize February 18, 2025

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It commends the Georgia FFA Association, a youth organization focused on agricultural education, for its role in preparing young Georgians for careers in agriculture and agribusiness. The resolution notes that the Georgia FFA Association is the third largest state FFA association in the nation, with more than 81,000 members in 402 local chapters. It formally designates February 18, 2025 as FFA Day at the state capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Georgia FFA Association for distribution.
