In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Andrea L. Boone, who is serving her second term on the Atlanta City Council representing District 10, for her career in public service. The resolution recounts her background as the daughter of civil rights leader Rev. Joseph E. Boone and educator Alethea W. Boone, her earlier work as Chief of Staff to a former Atlanta City Councilmember, and her over seven years as a City of Atlanta Commissioner in the Mayor's Office of Constituent Services. The Senate formally commends her for her service and wishes her continued health and happiness. The resolution also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy for distribution to Boone. It creates no new rules, funding, or legal requirements.
