In plain language

It recognizes the Milton Eagles boys golf team for capturing the 2024 GHSA (Georgia High School Association) 7A Boys Golf State Championship, which the resolution notes was the team's fifth state championship in school history and its fourth consecutive title. The resolution praises the team's performance, teamwork, and the leadership of Head Coach Tom Dell, and formally commends the team on behalf of the House. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake. It does not create any new rule, funding, or legal requirement.
