Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions for their community service and leadership development work with young people. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it formally recognizes the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions for helping young people learn about local government and develop leadership skills. The resolution highlights specific service projects these youth commissions have carried out, including a food and hygiene kit drive for people experiencing homelessness and participation in the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the three youth commissions as a form of official recognition. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions for community service and leadership development work. - Cites specific examples of the commissions' service projects, including a food and hygiene kit drive and participation in the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the three youth commissions. - Extends the House's best wishes for the youth commissions' continued success. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions and their student participants.
