SR143: SR143 Clayton County Day; recognize February 6, 2025

Last action February 10, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Senate resolution recognizes February 6, 2025 as Clayton County Day at the state capitol, honoring Clayton County government and two local chambers of commerce.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It commends the Clayton County Government, the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce, and the ATL Airport Chamber of Commerce for their leadership in supporting business growth and community development in Clayton County. The resolution formally designates February 6, 2025, as Clayton County Day at the state capitol, a day when chamber members visit the legislature to meet state leaders and discuss local priorities. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the honored organizations. The resolution has no regulatory or funding effect; it is a symbolic recognition.
