In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors the Georgia Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), a nonprofit group of Black law enforcement leaders founded nationally in 1976 and chartered in Georgia in 1984. The resolution recounts the chapter's history, including its role in training law enforcement leaders and electing nine national NOBLE presidents from Georgia. It formally commends the organization for 41 years of service and designates March 6, 2025 as Georgia Chapter of NOBLE Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the organization.
