In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes Dee Armstrong, a longtime news anchor in Columbus, Georgia, for her induction into the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame after a career spanning more than 40 years. The resolution describes the Georgia Association of Broadcasters as the nation's oldest broadcast association, representing more than 400 members and Georgia's local radio and television stations, including their role in delivering emergency information during natural disasters. The House formally commends Armstrong and wishes her future health and happiness, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.

  • States the House's best wishes for Armstrong's future health and happiness.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Armstrong.
  • Makes no changes to Georgia law, funding, or regulation since it is a commendatory resolution rather than a bill.
