In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any rules or spends any money. It recognizes February 10, 2026, as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol, marking the organization's founding in 1937 and its growth to 158 county chapters and more than 235,000 members. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the document for distribution to the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation. It does not create any new legal obligations, funding, or regulations; its only operative effect is the formal designation of the day and the instruction to share the resolution with the organization.
