In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes a list of named women as part of Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence, citing International Women's Day as the occasion for celebrating women's leadership, innovation, and advocacy. The resolution formally states that House members recognize these women and extend appreciation and best wishes for their continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute, and it carries no funding, penalties, or enforcement mechanism.
What the bill does
- Formally recognizes a named list of women as part of Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence.
- Expresses the House of Representatives' appreciation and admiration for the honorees' contributions and leadership.
- Extends best wishes for the honorees' continued success and empowerment.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
Who it affects
The resolution directly names and honors a specific group of women listed in the text. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is tasked with distributing copies, but it has no legal effect on the general public.
