This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial statement from the House of Representatives honoring the Georgia State Society National Society Children of the American Revolution, a youth patriotic organization active in Georgia since 1936. The resolution notes that 2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and credits the organization with teaching young Georgians about the nation's history and encouraging civic engagement. The resolution states that the House recognizes and commends the group for its work with Georgia youth and wishes it continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the organization, which is the resolution's only concrete action.
