SR532: SR532 Serenity Empire Senior Living; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring Serenity Empire Senior Living, a company that operates seven senior care facilities across Georgia. The resolution recounts the company's history since its founding in 2015, noting that it is the first Black-owned senior living provider with multiple locations in Georgia and the first locally owned assisted living facility in the West Georgia area. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or spend any state money. It formally commends the organization for its caregiving, community involvement, and being named Douglas County's Small Business of the Year in 2024, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send the company a copy of the resolution.
