SR109: SR109 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition Winners; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes the winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition, a scholarship pageant judged on talent, interview, and evening gown categories. The resolution names eight young women, including Audrey Kittila (Miss Atlanta 2025) and seven others holding related titles, and congratulates them on their achievement. It notes they will go on to represent greater Atlanta at the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia Teen competitions in Columbus, Georgia. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies for distribution to the honorees as a keepsake of the recognition.

• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to each of the eight winners.
