In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Toni Redd, a singer raised in Atlanta who performs R&B, smooth jazz, and classical soul music. The text recounts her musical background, her debut album, her performances at festivals such as the Atlanta Jazz Festival, and awards she has received, including a Black Women in Jazz Award and the Lady Soul of Jazz title. The resolution's operative effect is to have the House of Representatives officially commend Redd for her career and wish her continued health and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to her. It does not change any Georgia law.
