Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends the Center for Black Women's Wellness, an Atlanta nonprofit, for 36 years of health and family support services. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any statute. It recognizes the Center for Black Women's Wellness, an Atlanta area nonprofit that began in 1988 as a program under the National Black Women's Health Project and became an independent organization in 1996. The resolution praises the center for helping women, men, and children in metro Atlanta through programs aimed at improving health, strengthening families, and advancing health equity. The House resolves to commend the organization and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the center as a keepsake. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the Center for Black Women's Wellness for its 36 years of service in metro Atlanta. - States the House's appreciation for the center's staff, volunteers, and partners. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the center. - Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute or provide any state funding. ### Who it affects The Center for Black Women's Wellness and the people it serves in metropolitan Atlanta, including women, men, and children who use its health, family, and community support programs. ### Why it matters The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight. It gives the Center for Black Women's Wellness official recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives, which can be used for publicity or morale, but it does not change any law, funding, or program. ### Key provisions - Whereas clauses describe the center's history, founded in 1988 under the National Black Women's Health Project and incorporated independently in 1996. - The resolving clause has the House commend the center for its contributions and wish it continued success. - A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House to provide the center with an official copy of the resolution. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-03-27) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-03-27) - Sponsors: Park Cannon, Rhonda Taylor, Kim Schofield, Mekyah McQueen, Tanya Miller - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74523 > The history, votes, and amendments (134 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1952.md?full=1
