In plain language

The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the Georgia Airports Association, a group founded in 1990 that supports the development of airports across Georgia. It takes effect immediately upon passage as a formal recognition, without creating any new requirements, funding, or penalties.
