R. 912 - 2 - ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends the Conn Family for a combined 173 years of service at the state Capitol across three generations, spanning roles in the Clerk's Office, the Governor's Office, and the Georgia Building Authority. ### Plain-language summary This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Conn Family for their long history of work at the state Capitol, known as the Gold Dome. It recounts the service of seven family members: Roy, Clifford, Jane, Judy, Mandy, Brian, and Barry Conn, whose combined tenure totals 173 years across agencies including the Georgia Building Authority, the Governor's Office, and the Clerk's Office. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes and commends the family for their service and wishes them future health, happiness, and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the family. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the Conn Family for a combined 173 years of service at the Georgia State Capitol. - Details the individual service records of seven family members across agencies like the Georgia Building Authority, the Governor's Office, and the Clerk's Office. - Extends best wishes from the House of Representatives to the family for future health, happiness, and success. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the Conn Family. ### Who it affects This resolution directly names and honors members of the Conn Family: Roy, Clifford, Jane, Judy, Mandy, Brian, and Barry Conn.
