Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia Senate resolution honors the life of Charles Tamlin Hall Jr., a LaGrange businessman and University of Georgia alumnus who died on January 20, 2025. ### Plain-language summary This is a memorial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law; instead it formally recognizes the life of Charles Tamlin Hall Jr., who passed away on January 20, 2025, and expresses the Senate's condolences to his family. The resolution recounts his biography, including his education at the University of Georgia, his decades leading Association Services Group in LaGrange, his decades of service at First Baptist Church on the Square, and his family. It closes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to his family. ### What it does - Formally states that the Georgia Senate honors the life and memory of Charles Tamlin Hall Jr. and expresses regret at his passing. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Hall's family. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulation; it is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to the Georgia Code. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the family of Charles Tamlin Hall Jr., including his wife, children, and grandchildren, who will receive a copy. It also reflects the Georgia Senate's collective statement, but imposes no obligations on the public. ### Why it matters The resolution carries no legal or regulatory effect on Georgians generally. Its practical significance is limited to publicly recognizing Hall's life and providing his family with an official memorial from the Georgia Senate. ### Key provisions - The resolution recites Hall's biography: his birth in 1950, his education and involvement at the University of Georgia, and his leadership of Association Services Group from 1995 to 2021. - It notes his decades of service at First Baptist Church on the Square and his family, including his wife, two children, and six grandchildren. - The resolving clause formally expresses the Senate's sincere regret at his passing and honors his memory. - A further resolving clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute a copy of the resolution to his family. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-02-20) - Last action: Senate Read and Adopted (2025-02-20) - Sponsors: Sam Watson, Russ Goodman, Drew Echols, Lee Anderson, Randy Robertson, Marty Harbin - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/70522 > The history, votes, and amendments (96 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/sr211.md?full=1
