It recognizes Tamika Scott, a Dekalb County resident with 18 years of experience in the nonprofit sector who has worked with municipalities across Georgia and volunteered with groups such as the Parent-Teacher-Student Association, Fairfield Baptist Church, and the Lithonia Community Dekalb County Democratic Committee. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of Scott's service and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.

• States the House's best wishes for her continued health, happiness, and success.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Tamika Scott.
