In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing Eric Hunt, a third-year law student at Georgia State University who serves as the first legal extern in the General Assembly's Office of General Counsel. The resolution recounts his background as a former DeKalb County police officer, his military service as an infantryman in the Georgia Army National Guard, and his recognition as Georgia National Guard Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year in 2014. It also notes his role training Honduran soldiers during a military mission and praises his work ethic balancing law school, work, and fatherhood. The resolution has no regulatory effect: it simply congratulates Hunt and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
