In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recounts the coaching career of Terry Holder, including his 588-183 baseball coaching record, eight state championships, a 61-game winning streak with Evans High School, and his work as the first head football coach at Greenbrier High School. The resolution's operative effect is simple: the Senate officially congratulates Holder on his induction into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him. It creates no new rules, funding, or legal requirements.

- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Holder.
