In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a bill that changes any law. It formally designates March 31, 2026, as Underserved Communities Day at the state capitol. The resolution praises Community Estr(El/La), described as a community-based organization that works to defend, organize, and empower the human rights of underserved Georgians, including racial minorities, victims of domestic violence, sexual minorities, indigenous peoples, and immigrants. It states that the day is meant to recognize the struggles and achievements of underserved communities and to promote understanding and inclusivity in Georgia. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies for distribution to the public and the press. It creates no new legal requirements, funding, or penalties.
