HR520: HR520 City of Chattahoochee Hills; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the City of Chattahoochee Hills. It recounts the city's history: the 2006 law that let the area incorporate, the 2007 vote in which residents approved incorporation by a wide margin, and the city's growth since then within a roughly 33,000 acre area of Fulton County. The resolution highlights the city's recreation areas, its agritourism and sustainable agriculture economy, and its community and economic development efforts. It does not change any Georgia law. It simply resolves that the House recognizes and commends the city and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.

• Formally recognizes and commends the City of Chattahoochee Hills for sustainability, environmental preservation, and community development efforts.
• Recounts the city's 2006 incorporation authorization and the 2007 vote in which residents approved becoming a city.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, since it is a commendatory resolution rather than legislation.

The resolution directly names the City of Chattahoochee Hills, its residents, and local officials. It has no regulatory effect on other governments, businesses, or individuals across Georgia.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law, it has no direct legal or financial effect on Georgians. Its main real-world consequence is public recognition of the city's history and development approach, distributed through the Clerk of the House.

• The whereas clauses describe the city's 2007 incorporation, its location in southwestern Fulton County, and its 33,000 acre size.
• The resolving clause states the House recognizes and commends the city for sustainability, preservation, and community development.
• A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
