In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives marking the 10th anniversary of the City of Tucker's incorporation. Tucker became an official city on November 3, 2015, after DeKalb County residents approved the move in a referendum. The resolution does not change any law. It recognizes the city's growth over its first decade in areas like economic development, public safety, infrastructure, and recreation, and credits the city's mayor, council members, staff, volunteers, and residents for that progress. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for Tucker's city officials.
