In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes Cyndi West, a longtime Senate staffer, for her career of public service, which began in 1991 at the Georgia World Congress Center and continued at the Georgia Dome before she joined the Georgia State Senate staff. The resolution recounts that West served under seven different senators over 25 years in the Senate, including a full 25-year stretch supporting Senator Ed Harbison, and describes her work managing communications and helping constituents. The Senate formally commends her for 25 years with the Senate and 34 total years of state service, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to give her a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
