Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends Alexander Bergosh, a legal extern in the Speaker's Office, for his service during the 2026 legislative session. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It recognizes Alexander Bergosh, who served as a legal extern in the Office of the Speaker's General Counsel during the 2026 legislative session. The resolution recounts his prior legal experience, including work as a student attorney at Georgia State University's Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic and an internship at the Augusta Judicial Circuit's District Attorney's Office. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of Bergosh's character and service and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him with a copy of the resolution as a keepsake. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Alexander Bergosh for his service as a legal extern in the Speaker's Office during the 2026 session. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Bergosh. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a ceremonial statement by the House. ### Who it affects This resolution affects only Alexander Bergosh, the individual honored, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is directed to prepare a copy of the resolution for him. ### Why it matters The resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians generally.
