In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Authors Expert Academy, an initiative tied to the TIUA School of Business and TIUA Corp. Florida, for its work encouraging reading and supporting authors' intellectual property rights. It ties this recognition to World Book and Copyright Day, an annual UNESCO observance on April 23 that celebrates books and cultural understanding. The resolution formally commends the academy for its efforts to mentor authors, promote storytelling, and raise awareness about copyright protections. It also designates April 23, 2025, as Authors Expert Academy Day in Georgia. Finally, it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the resolution to the academy. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a ceremonial statement of recognition.
