SR99: SR99 Farley, Mr. Sharoko; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any statute. It recognizes Mr. Sharoko Farley, who teaches in the commercial truck driving program at Central Georgia Technical College, for being named the Technical College System of Georgia's 2024 Rick Perkins Award winner, which also makes him the system's Instructor of the Year. The resolution states that Farley was chosen from a select group of technical college instructors around Georgia who showed innovative teaching methods and strong leadership. The Senate formally congratulates and commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia law.

• The resolved clause has the Senate congratulate and commend Farley and wish him continued success.
