HR 43: Johnson, Bryce Alan; condolences

This resolution is a memorial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law; instead it formally recognizes the death of Bryce Alan Johnson, who served as district attorney of the Tifton Judicial Circuit and as solicitor-general for several towns, and recounts his life, family, faith, and community involvement. The resolution states that the House joins in honoring his memory and expresses its sincere regret at his passing. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Johnson's family, which is the resolution's only concrete directive.

• Formally expresses the House of Representatives' regret over the death of district attorney Bryce Alan Johnson on December 2, 2024.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Johnson's family.
• Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing obligation; it is a one time commemorative statement.
