A Georgia House resolution formally commends Tamika Scott, a Dekalb County nonprofit and community leader, for her long-standing civic and public service work. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives during Women's History Month. It recognizes Tamika Scott, a Dekalb County resident with 18 years of experience in the nonprofit sector who has worked with municipalities across Georgia and volunteered with groups such as the Parent-Teacher-Student Association, Fairfield Baptist Church, and the Lithonia Community Dekalb County Democratic Committee. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of Scott's service and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Tamika Scott for her community service and leadership in Dekalb County. - States the House's best wishes for her continued health, happiness, and success. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Tamika Scott. - Makes no changes to Georgia statutes, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law. ### Who it affects The resolution names and honors Tamika Scott specifically. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare and deliver a copy of the resolution to her. ### Why it matters This is a symbolic honor rather than a policy change.
