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 Emanuel Pitts, a student at East Forsyth High School, for winning the 2025 Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Class 4A State Diving Championship, noting his top score of 617.90 during his senior season. The resolution praises his skill, sportsmanship, and character, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Pitts. It has no regulatory effect and does not appropriate funding or alter Georgia law.

- States his top score of 617.90 achieved during his senior diving season.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Pitts.

Who it affects

Why it matters
