In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It declares April 22, 2025, as DJ Day in Georgia, citing the role disc jockeys play in introducing new music, shaping trends, and bringing people together through performances in clubs, festivals, and on the radio. The resolution names twelve specific DJs to be honored this year. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press. The resolution does not create any new rules, funding, or penalties; it is a symbolic statement by the House.
