In plain language
This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It recognizes Zoreida Reyes-Garcia, a Peachtree Corners resident and sophomore at Georgia Gwinnett College studying Criminal Justice, for her work as a Legislative Intern in Representative Arlene Beckles's office. The resolution describes her contributions to legislative research, bill analysis, speechwriting, constituent communication, and committee support, including her assistance on House Bill 1142, which deals with creating a domestic violence registry in Georgia. The House resolves to commend her for her service and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her with a copy of the resolution. It does not create, amend, or repeal any statute.
