HR 195: Henry County Office of the Solicitor-General; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Henry County Office of the Solicitor-General, which handles misdemeanor prosecutions for the state and Henry County. It highlights the office's Victim Services Division, which assigns a victim advocate to each case involving a victim to explain their rights, connect them with resources, and provide support during the judicial process. The resolution notes that in 2024 the division helped about 975 victims of misdemeanor crimes, and it ties the honor to Stand With Survivors Day at the state capitol on February 5, 2025, a day focused on domestic violence survivors. The resolution does not change any law; it commends the office and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the office for distribution.
