The resolution also congratulates seven individuals nominated as Everyday Energy Heroes for 2025, a campaign the association launched to highlight workers in the natural gas industry.

The resolution creates no new requirements, funding, or penalties. ### What it does - Formally honors the Natural Gas Association of Georgia on the occasion of its 10th anniversary in 2025. - Congratulates seven named nominees of the association's 2025 Everyday Energy Heroes campaign. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the association. ### Who it affects The Natural Gas Association of Georgia and its member companies and municipalities, the seven named Everyday Energy Heroes nominees, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution. ### Why it matters The resolution has no legal or financial effect; it is a symbolic gesture of recognition.
