In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Miss Atlanta Competition as a scholarship pageant judging young women on talent, interview, and evening gown, and names the eight winners across the competition's various titles, including the teen divisions. The resolution formally congratulates these individuals and wishes them success as they go on to represent the greater Atlanta area at the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia Teen competitions in Columbus, Georgia, where winners can advance nationally. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to each of the honored winners.
