SR157: SR157 Brown, Lebreda; recognize

Last action February 11, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution honors Lebreda Brown, who received the Activity Director Assistant of the Year award for her work in long-term care.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Lebreda Brown for receiving the Activity Director Assistant of the Year award, given through the Georgia health care association's Stars in Long Term Care program, which honors professionals in long-term and post-acute care. The resolution states that the Senate commends Brown for her contributions to elderly and disabled Georgians in long-term care settings and wishes her continued health and happiness. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for Brown as a keepsake. It does not create any new rule, program, or funding.

What the bill does

  • Formally commends Lebreda Brown by name for receiving the Activity Director Assistant of the Year award.
  • States the Senate's recognition of her work in long-term and post-acute care serving elderly and disabled Georgians.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Brown.
  • Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute, program, or funding.

Who it affects

This resolution directly names and honors Lebreda Brown. It also references the broader group of long-term and post-acute care professionals recognized through the Stars in Long Term Care program, though only Brown is commended by this specific resolution.

Why it matters

The resolution has no legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a formal, symbolic honor. Its practical effect is limited to recognizing one individual's work in long-term care and providing her a keepsake copy from the Senate.
