In plain language

This is a commendation resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes five temporary workers, Saran Punmaneeluk, Sheila Mayo, Jeremy Thomas, Fletcher Johnson, and Allie Mayfield, who served as session assistants in the House Media Services Office during the 2026 regular session. The resolution explains that the Media Services Office handles press releases, media events, meeting space scheduling, streaming and archiving committee meetings, and photography, video, and web content for House members. It states that these temporary assistants helped the office keep providing those services during the busy legislative session. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for distribution to each of the named assistants.
