It does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or spend any state funding. The resolution praises Reese's leadership, character, and dedication to public service, and formally resolves that the House recognizes and commends him. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Reese, so he receives an official record of the honor. ### What it does - Formally states that the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes and commends Representative Teddy Reese for his public service. - Extends the House's best wishes to Reese for continued health and happiness. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Reese. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names and honors Representative Teddy Reese.
