Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends blockchain technology for its impact on data security, finance, and other industries, without creating any new law, funding, or requirement. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives praising blockchain technology, the decentralized digital ledger system used to record and verify transactions. It lists reasons for the praise: blockchain can reduce fraud, lower transaction costs, increase transparency, and help industries like finance, healthcare, logistics, and cybersecurity improve recordkeeping and compliance. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create a program, or spend any state money. Its only operative actions are that the House formally recognizes and commends blockchain technology's benefits, and it directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
