In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to state law. It recognizes February 2026 as Career and Technical Education Month and designates February 4, 2026 as Georgia Career and Technical Student Organizations Day at the State Capitol, honoring groups like DECA, FFA, FBLA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA that support students in career and technical education programs. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy to the Georgia Department of Education. It does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements; it simply expresses the House's recognition of these students and organizations.
