In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Delane Roberts, who began working for the Georgia House of Representatives on January 1, 1993, and served for 32 years, including 12 years as the Defense and Veterans Affairs Committee Assistant. The resolution commends her service, congratulates her on her retirement (effective January 1, 2025), and wishes her continued good health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. The resolution has no regulatory or funding effect; it simply expresses the House's appreciation.
