In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or responsibilities. It praises the South Atlanta Vascular Institute (SAVI), a multi-specialty medical practice that treats arterial and venous diseases using minimally invasive, in-office procedures. The resolution describes SAVI's mission, its board-certified physicians, and its recognition as a top vascular care provider, then formally commends the institute on behalf of the Senate. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the institute, which is a customary way the General Assembly honors organizations or individuals.

Who it affects
