A Georgia Senate resolution formally recognizes and commends the Atlanta Apartment Association on its 50th anniversary for its work in the state's multifamily housing industry.

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes any law. It honors the Atlanta Apartment Association, which has represented housing providers and professionals in Georgia's multifamily housing industry since 1975. The resolution recites the Association's history, including its role in supporting quality and affordable housing, promoting professional development in the housing industry, and its philanthropic partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank, through which members have contributed more than 140 million meals. The Senate resolves to commend the Association on its 50th anniversary and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Association. It creates no new legal requirements.
