HR469: HR469 Turner, LaShonia; commend

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers use to publicly honor individuals rather than to change any law. It recognizes LaShonia Turner, owner of Posh a Mireille Salon in Dacula and co-owner of the restaurant Scrum-did-dly-ump-tious in downtown Lawrenceville, for her entrepreneurship and community involvement. The resolution recounts her business history, including her salon being named Best of Gwinnett multiple years and her founding of Posh Cares, a philanthropic effort that runs Back to School supply drives. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It does not create any new law, funding, or ongoing legal effect.
