SR 1070: Touhy, Mrs. Angela W.; recognize and commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate recognizing Mrs. Angela W. Touhy for her career in state government. It traces her work history starting in 1986 with the State Personnel Administration, more than a decade at the Department of Human Resources, and her move to the Georgia State Senate in 2000, where she served the Senate Appropriations Committee under Chairmen George Hooks and Jack Hill. The resolution notes that after retiring, she returned in 2022 to again assist the Senate Appropriations Committee under Chairman Blake Tillery. It formally commends her for her service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a statement of recognition.
