Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution honors Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence, recognizing a named list of women for their leadership and community contributions around International Women's Day. ### Plain-language summary 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 it 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. ### Why it matters The resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians generally, but it gives the named women formal public recognition from the state legislature and creates an official record of that honor that can be shared with the press and public. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses explain the resolution's purpose: honoring women's contributions around International Women's Day. - The resolved clause names the honorees and states the House's recognition and appreciation for them. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for public and press distribution. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-03-06) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-03-06) - Sponsors: Miriam Paris - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/73965 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1630.md?full=1
