In plain language
This House resolution is a ceremonial tribute rather than a change to Georgia law. It recounts the life of Mr. Tommy Harrison, who was born in Decatur County, Georgia, in 1924, later moved to Havana, Florida, married in 1946, and raised six children before his death in 1969. The resolution formally states that the House of Representatives honors his memory and offers sympathy to his surviving family members. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the family. The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute.
