Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends LaShonia Turner, a Gwinnett County salon and restaurant owner, for her business achievements and community work. ### Plain-language summary This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers use to publicly honor individuals rather than to change any law. It recognizes LaShonia Turner, owner of Posh a Mireille Salon in Dacula and co-owner of the restaurant Scrum-did-dly-ump-tious in downtown Lawrenceville, for her entrepreneurship and community involvement. The resolution recounts her business history, including her salon being named Best of Gwinnett multiple years and her founding of Posh Cares, a philanthropic effort that runs Back to School supply drives. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It does not create any new law, funding, or ongoing legal effect. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends LaShonia Turner for her career accomplishments as a salon and restaurant owner. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and make available a copy of the resolution for distribution to Turner. - Extends the House's best wishes to Turner for future health, happiness, and success. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory change, serving only as a ceremonial honor. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names LaShonia Turner, owner of Posh a Mireille Salon and co-owner of Scrum-did-dly-ump-tious restaurant in Gwinnett County.
