In plain language
This House resolution is a ceremonial statement rather than a law. It does not create rules, spend money, or change any part of the Georgia Code. Instead, it states that the Georgia House of Representatives celebrates couples who chose to marry on Valentine's Day this year and wishes them health, happiness, and fulfillment. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press, which is a routine step for ceremonial resolutions so they can be shared or presented to the people they honor.
What the bill does
- Formally states that the House of Representatives celebrates this year's Valentine's Day weddings and wishes the couples well.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
- Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill.
