In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia Senate recognizes seven people connected to the natural gas industry as the 2025 Everyday Energy Heroes, an honor created by the Natural Gas Association of Georgia. The association, founded in 2015, represents more than 50 companies and municipalities that supply natural gas to over 2 million homes and businesses across the state. The resolution names the honorees individually, including representatives from city and county governments and private energy companies, and formally congratulates them for their contributions. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the honorees. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a ceremonial statement of recognition passed by the Senate.
