HR677: HR677 DJ Day; April 22, 2025; recognize
Last action March 20, 2025 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution recognizes April 22, 2025, as DJ Day, honoring a list of named disc jockeys for their role in shaping music and culture.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It declares April 22, 2025, as DJ Day in Georgia, citing the role disc jockeys play in introducing new music, shaping trends, and bringing people together through their performances in clubs, festivals, and on the radio. The resolution names a specific group of DJs to be honored this year, including DJ Toni K., DJ Encore ATL, DJ Silk Provibes, and several others. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for distribution to the public and the press, which is standard practice for this type of honorary resolution.
