SR102: SR102 South Fulton County Legislative Day; recognize March 13, 2025

Last action February 4, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Senate resolution designates March 13, 2025 as South Fulton County Legislative Day at the Georgia Capitol, honoring the county's cities and economic growth.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes any law. It sets aside March 13, 2025 as South Fulton County Legislative Day at the Capitol, a day meant to recognize elected officials, county and municipal leaders, and residents from South Fulton County, Georgia. The resolution's whereas clauses describe South Fulton County's cities (College Park, Union City, East Point, Hapeville, Palmetto, South Fulton, and Fairburn), its transportation infrastructure including Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and MARTA, its convention and hospitality industry, and its manufacturing and distribution base. The Senate resolves to welcome county officials and residents to the Capitol on that day, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
