HR583: HR583 Ramsey, Karen; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Karen Ramsey for her service as Deputy Director of the Gwinnett Housing Corporation (GHC). It does not change any Georgia law; instead it recognizes her work since joining GHC in 2022, including launching the Homeowner Resource Center, the Healthy Homes Production Program, and the Older Adults Home Modification Program. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Ramsey, so she has a formal record of the House's recognition. It contains no funding, penalties, or regulatory changes; it is purely an expression of praise and appreciation from the legislature.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Ramsey.
