It also notes her service with the DeKalb NAACP and the DeKalb County Ethics Board. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of her contributions and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Ali as a keepsake.
