A Georgia House resolution recognizes March 31, 2026 as Morrow Day at the state capitol, honoring the Clayton County city's history, institutions, and community life.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives designates March 31, 2026 as Morrow Day at the state capitol. It celebrates the City of Morrow in Clayton County, noting its 1943 incorporation, its growth to nearly 8,000 residents, and landmarks like Clayton State University, Spivey Hall, and the Southlake Mall.
The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply expresses the House's recognition of the city and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare copies of the resolution for the public and press.

### What it does

### Who it affects
