SR 1050: Vaughn, Lee; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Lee Vaughn, who was elected Commissioner of District Two in 2015 and later served as Chairman of Commissioners until his retirement. The resolution lists his community involvement, including his role as President of Northeast Georgia Bank and his participation in groups such as the Community Bankers Association, the Georgia Bankers Association, the Hartwell Rotary Club, the Athens Technical College Foundation Board, and the Elbert Memorial Hospital Foundation Board. The Senate resolves to commend Vaughn for his public service, congratulate him on his retirement, and wish him continued health and happiness. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Vaughn. The resolution has no regulatory or funding effect.

• Formally commends Lee Vaughn for his public service as a District Two commissioner and chairman.
• Congratulates Vaughn on his retirement from his commissioner role.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Vaughn.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, serving only as a ceremonial statement by the Senate.
