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. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and honors the City of Tucker, Georgia, on the 10th anniversary of its incorporation on November 3, 2015. - States the House of Representatives' extension of best wishes to Tucker for continued success and service to its citizens. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to City of Tucker officials. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a ceremonial statement of recognition. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the City of Tucker in DeKalb County, its mayor and city council (past and present), city staff, volunteers, business leaders, and residents, all of whom are recognized for contributing to the city's first decade. ### Why it matters The resolution carries no legal or financial effect; it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements.
