In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial measure passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any state law. Instead, it praises the Entertainment Tourism Alliance of Georgia (ETAG), a group that supports Georgia's film, television, music, and tourism industries, for its work promoting the state as a destination for entertainment tourism. The resolution formally designates February 28, 2025, as Entertainment Tourism Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for ETAG, giving the organization a formal record of the Senate's recognition.
