In plain language
This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Bruce Huff, a lifelong resident of Columbus, Georgia, for his 15 years representing District 3 on the Columbus City Council, during which he helped secure more than $300 million in infrastructure investments. The resolution recognizes his community roles, including membership in St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church, Prince Hall Masonry, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. It formally commends his service, congratulates him on his retirement, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to provide him with a copy of the resolution.
