Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution recognizes Wellspring Living, an Atlanta-area nonprofit, for 25 years of work helping survivors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Wellspring Living, a nonprofit founded in 2001, on its 25th anniversary for providing trauma-informed care such as safe housing, therapy, education, and workforce development to women and youth affected by sexual exploitation and trafficking. The resolution recounts the organization's growth from a single residential program into a broader network of services and praises its partnerships with community groups, state agencies, and national organizations to fight human trafficking. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare an official copy of the resolution for Wellspring Living, but it creates no new requirements, funding, or legal obligations. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Wellspring Living for 25 years of service to survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking. - States the House's best wishes for the organization's continued success but imposes no legal requirements or funding. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Wellspring Living. ### Who it affects This resolution directly names Wellspring Living, its staff, and the survivors it serves. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare a copy for the organization. It does not impose obligations on the general public or other agencies. ### Why it matters The resolution has no binding legal effect and changes no Georgia law. Its practical impact is symbolic: a formal, public acknowledgment by the state legislature of a nonprofit's work on human trafficking and exploitation, which can raise awareness of the organization's mission. ### Key provisions - The resolution's preamble ('whereas' clauses) describes Wellspring Living's founding in 2001 and its trauma-informed services, including housing, therapy, education, and workforce development. - The operative resolving clause recognizes and commends Wellspring Living for 25 years of service and wishes it continued success. - A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to the organization. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-04-02) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-04-02) - Sponsors: Martin Momtahan, Jaclyn Ford, Noelle Kahaian, Kimberly New, Angie O'Steen, Soo Hong - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74743 > The history, votes, and amendments (134 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr2130.md?full=1
