HR 566: McBath, Congresswoman Lucy; commend

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing and praising the work of U.S. Congresswoman Lucy McBath, who represents Georgia's Sixth Congressional District in metro Atlanta. The resolution lists her legislative record in Congress, including her role in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act on gun safety, the HAVEN Act protecting veterans from financial hardship, and support for capping insulin costs for seniors on Medicare at $35 per month. It then resolves that the House commends her for her service and directs the Clerk of the House to send her an official copy of the resolution.

• Formally recognizes and commends Congresswoman Lucy McBath for her public service in the U.S. House of Representatives.
• States the House's praise for her role in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the HAVEN Act, and Medicare insulin cost limits.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Congresswoman McBath.
• Creates no new law, funding, or penalty; it is a symbolic statement rather than a change to the Georgia Code.

This resolution primarily concerns Congresswoman Lucy McBath, who represents Georgia's Sixth Congressional District. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is directed to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to her.

• The whereas clauses describe McBath's legislative record, including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the HAVEN Act, and a Medicare insulin price cap of $35 per month.
• The resolving clause has the House of Representatives commend McBath for her public service and extend well wishes.
• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to Congresswoman McBath.
