HR 105: Landers, Captain Coleman A.; commend

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers use to formally recognize a person's achievements rather than to change any law. It honors Captain Coleman A. Landers for his 20 years on the Walton County Board of Education, his leadership roles with the Georgia School Boards Association, his 30 years of service in the United States Navy, and his community work with groups like the Walton County Boys and Girls Club, the Walton County Chamber of Commerce, and Piedmont Walton Hospital. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the document for distribution to Captain Landers. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute; its only effect is the formal recognition itself.

• Formally recognizes and commends Captain Coleman A. Landers for his community and military service on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Captain Landers.
• Extends the House's best wishes to Captain Landers for continued health and happiness.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulation, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill amending the Georgia Code.

The resolution directly names and honors Captain Coleman A. Landers. It also references the Walton County Board of Education, the Georgia School Boards Association, the Walton County Boys and Girls Club, the Walton County Chamber of Commerce, and Piedmont Walton Hospital as organizations connected to his service.

The resolution has no legal or regulatory effect on Georgians generally. Its significance is symbolic: it places an official record of Captain Landers's decades of school board, military, and community service into the Georgia House's proceedings.
