In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It states the purpose of International Women's Day and praises women who have shown leadership, innovation, and advocacy for gender equality. The resolution names dozens of individual women as part of Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence and formally expresses the House's appreciation and admiration for their accomplishments. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press, so the honorees and others can receive a record of the recognition.
What the bill does
- Formally recognizes a named list of women as Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence on behalf of the House of Representatives.
- States the House's appreciation and admiration for the honorees' accomplishments and extends wishes for their continued success.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and press.
- Creates no new law, funding, or penalty, since it is a commendation resolution rather than legislation.
Who it affects
The individually named women recognized in the resolution, the Clerk of the House of Representatives who must prepare copies, and members of the public or press who may receive those copies. It does not impose obligations on any other Georgians.
