In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it formally honors Dr. Sonnie Badu and First Lady Annie Badu for eight years of ministry service in Georgia, praising their leadership at RockHill Church Atlanta and their work in worship, mentorship, humanitarian outreach, and global missions. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to Dr. Sonnie Badu and First Lady Annie Badu, which is the customary way these honorary resolutions are formally recognized.
