HR924: HR924 Hunt, Eric; honor
Last action April 2, 2025 · House Read and Adopted
A House resolution honors Eric Hunt, a Georgia State University law student and legal extern in the General Assembly's Office of General Counsel, for his legal, military, and law enforcement service.
In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes Eric Hunt, a third-year law student at the Georgia State University School of Law who serves as the first legal extern in the General Assembly's Office of General Counsel. The resolution details Hunt's background as a former DeKalb County police officer, his military service as an infantryman in the Georgia Army National Guard, his 2014 recognition as Georgia National Guard Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year, and his role training Honduran soldiers. It formally congratulates him and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
