## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution honors Adele Sankowski, a East Forsyth High School swim team member, for her performance in the 100 yard freestyle.

### Plain-language summary

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes anything on the books. It recognizes Adele Sankowski, a swimmer for East Forsyth High School, for her achievement in the 100 yard freestyle event, where she recorded a time of 51.53 seconds.
The resolution states that her performance brought honor to her school and community, and it formally congratulates her on behalf of the House. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her to keep.

### What it does

- Formally recognizes and congratulates Adele Sankowski for her swimming performance on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives.

- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to her.

### Who it affects

This resolution directly names and honors Adele Sankowski, a member of the East Forsyth High School swim team. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare a copy for distribution.
