SR 22: Justus, Scott; condolences

This resolution is a formal statement from the Georgia Senate marking the death of Scott Justus, a home builder who spent more than 30 years in the construction industry in Georgia. It recounts his birth in Hendersonville, North Carolina, his family life with his wife Lisa and their three children and two grandchildren, and his membership in several building industry groups and his church. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. Its operative effect is to have the Senate formally express sympathy for his passing and to direct the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to the Justus family.

• Formally expresses the Georgia Senate's regret at the death of Scott Justus and honors his life and memory.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Justus's family.
• Recites biographical details about Justus's career, family, and community involvement as part of the official record.

This resolution directly affects the family of Scott Justus, who will receive a copy of it, and has no broader effect on the public since it creates no new law, funding, or requirement.

The resolution carries no legal or financial effect; it is a ceremonial gesture. Its real-world impact is limited to providing the Justus family with an official Senate expression of condolence and a permanent mention in the legislative record.

• The resolved clause states the Senate joins in honoring Scott Justus's life and memory and expresses regret at his passing.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy available for distribution to his family.
