SR316: SR316 Georgia Teen Republicans; recognize

Last action March 3, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution formally recognizes and commends the Georgia Teen Republicans, a youth political organization, for its work engaging young people in conservative politics.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial measure passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes the Georgia Teen Republicans, a youth group tied to the Republican Party, for encouraging young people to get involved in politics and support conservative causes and candidates. The resolution recites the history of the national Teenage Republicans organization since 1960 and describes the Georgia chapter's mission of promoting individual liberty, limited government, and free markets among young people. It concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the group as a keepsake.
