Quote the text, not the summary. A Senate resolution congratulates the eight winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition, a scholarship pageant, ahead of their advancement to the Miss Georgia competitions. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally congratulates eight named winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition on behalf of the Georgia Senate. - States that the winners will represent greater Atlanta at the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia Teen competitions in Columbus, Georgia. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to each named winner. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a symbolic honor. ### Who it affects The eight named winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition, including both the main pageant titleholders and the teen division winners, along with the Secretary of the Senate's office, which must distribute copies of the resolution. ### Why it matters The resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians generally. Its main real-world consequence is a formal, public honor for the named winners, recorded in the Senate's official record and delivered to them as keepsakes. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses describe the Miss Atlanta Competition as a scholarship pageant judged on Talent, Interview, and Evening Gown. - The resolution lists all eight winners by name and title, including Miss Atlanta 2025 and several teen division titles. - The resolved clause formally congratulates the winners and wishes them continued success in future competitions. - A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the winners. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-02-04) - Last action: Senate Read and Adopted (2025-02-04) - Sponsors: Sonya Halpern, Elena Parent, Harold Jones, Randal Mangham, Jason Esteves, Nikki Merritt, Josh McLaurin, Ed Harbison, Nan Orrock - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/69822 > The history, votes, and amendments (94 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/sr109.md?full=1
