In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It opens with a series of 'whereas' statements praising the contributions of Black Americans to the nation's history, from the abolitionist movement through the civil rights era, and highlighting values like limited government, free enterprise, and individual responsibility. The resolution then formally recognizes the members of the Georgia Black Republican Council, described as an auxiliary of the Georgia Republican Party, and extends best wishes for their continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.

- Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute; it has no direct legal or financial effect.
Who it affects
