In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes Lola Olukuewu, described as a serial entrepreneur and real estate investor who leads five businesses across Africa, for her work in real estate design, construction, business administration, and mentoring young professionals and startup founders. The resolution states the House's praise for her resilience, innovation, and advocacy for renewable energy, and extends best wishes for her continued health and happiness. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Olukuewu. It does not create any new rule, funding, or requirement under Georgia law.
