In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Tami Stanger, who works in long-term and post-acute care, for receiving the Social Service Professional of the Year award through the Georgia health care association Stars in Long Term Care program, which honors professionals who serve elderly and disabled Georgians. The resolution states the Senate's commendation of Stanger and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It does not create any new requirements, funding, or legal changes; it is a formal statement of appreciation from the chamber.
