In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It designates January 27, 2026 as Gwinnett Chamber Day at the state capitol in honor of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, which has operated since 1947. The resolution recounts the chamber's history and achievements, including its membership size, its role in attracting business investment to Gwinnett County, and its current leadership. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the chamber. The resolution does not create any new requirements, funding, or penalties; it is a formal statement of recognition and well wishes.
