HR 1341: F. DuBois Bowman Day; 02/11/26; F. DuBois Bowman; inauguration as the 13th President of Morehouse College; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It commends Dr. F. DuBois Bowman, a Morehouse College alumnus and scholar, on becoming the 13th President of Morehouse College, and it declares February 11, 2026 as F. DuBois Bowman Day in Georgia. The resolution recounts Bowman's background, including his research on neurological and mental health disorders and his academic career at institutions such as the University of Michigan, Columbia University, and Emory University. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Bowman as a keepsake of the honor.

• Formally commends F. DuBois Bowman for his inauguration as the 13th President of Morehouse College.
• Designates February 11, 2026 as F. DuBois Bowman Day in recognition of the honor.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Bowman.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, since it is a commendatory resolution rather than a bill amending the Georgia Code.

This resolution directly names F. DuBois Bowman, the incoming president of Morehouse College. It also touches Morehouse College as an institution and the House of Representatives, whose Clerk must produce a ceremonial copy for him.

The resolution has no legal or regulatory effect on Georgians generally. Its practical impact is symbolic: it gives official state recognition to a Georgia educator's achievement and creates a named day honoring him, which the House can point to as a formal act of appreciation.

• The whereas clauses describe Bowman's inauguration on July 15, 2025 and his academic and professional background.
• The resolving clause formally commends Bowman and designates February 11, 2026 as F. DuBois Bowman Day.
• A further resolution clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make a copy available for distribution to Bowman.
