In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Beverly Hamilton for receiving the Emergency Preparedness Champion award, given by the Georgia health care association's Stars in Long Term Care program, which honors long-term and post-acute care professionals for their contributions to elderly and disabled Georgians. The resolution states that the Senate commends Hamilton and wishes her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to her. The measure has no regulatory effect and does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute.
