The resolution recounts Carr's background, including his ties to the University of Georgia, his church and community involvement, and his family life, and states the House's commendation of his public service. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Carr. The resolution has passed and carries no funding, penalties, or changes to Georgia law.
