In plain language

This is a commendation resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law; it recognizes the North Gwinnett High School Game Day Cheer Squad in Suwanee for winning the 2024 State Championship, describing the team's performance, teamwork, and the leadership of its three coaches. The resolution formally congratulates the team and wishes it continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the cheer squad, which is the resolution's only concrete administrative action.
