A Senate resolution honors Sam M. Bromberg, a Georgia accountant and financial planner, for his career upon his retirement. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes Sam M.

The resolution commends Bromberg for his service and wishes him well in future endeavors. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Bromberg as a keepsake of the honor. ### What it does - Formally commends Sam M.
