## 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 commends Ghee Wilson, a Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, as the 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor recipient for his community service in Floyd County.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Ghee Wilson, a Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, for receiving the 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor. It lists his volunteer and leadership roles, including service on the Floyd County Planning Commission, the Northwest Georgia Sexual Assault Center, the Coosa Valley Fraternal Order of Police, the Community Criminal Justice Foundation, and the Salvation Army, along with various community events and charitable efforts he has taken part in.
The resolution also notes awards Wilson has received, such as the 2023 Outstanding Citizen Award from Lindale VFW and the 2021 GBI Deputy Director's Award for Investigative Excellence. It formally commends him and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him a copy of the resolution. It does not change any Georgia law.

### What it does

- Formally recognizes and commends Ghee Wilson as the 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor recipient.
- Extends the House of Representatives' best wishes to Wilson for continued success.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Wilson.

### Who it affects

The resolution directly names Ghee Wilson, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent and Floyd County community volunteer, along with the House Clerk's office, which is tasked with producing and distributing a copy of the resolution to him.

### Why it matters

This is a ceremonial honor with no legal or regulatory effect. Its practical significance is limited to publicly recognizing Wilson's community service record and providing him with an official memento from the Georgia House of Representatives.

### Key provisions

- The resolved clause formally commends Ghee Wilson as the 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor recipient and extends best wishes.
- A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to Wilson.
