In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It commends the University of Georgia 4-H Program, State 4-H President Kingston Ryals, State 4-H Leader Melanie Biersmith, and a long list of district presidents, award winners, and volunteers from the 2024-2025 4-H year for their leadership and accomplishments. The resolution formally designates February 25, 2025 as 4-H Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press. The measure does not amend any Georgia statute or create new requirements; it is an honorary statement by the Senate.
