In plain language
This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers use to formally honor a person or occasion rather than change any law. It commends Tandy Mackey, a licensed marriage and family therapist, for her work in mental health counseling, her YouTube show discussing relationships and anxiety, and her apparel line. The resolution designates March 20, 2025, as TrailBlazing Women in Georgia Day, a symbolic recognition with no ongoing legal effect. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Tandy Mackey. The resolution does not create any program, funding, or requirement; it is purely ceremonial.
