SR 532: Serenity Empire Senior Living; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Serenity Empire Senior Living, a network of seven senior care facilities across Georgia, for its history and achievements since being founded in 2015. The resolution highlights that the organization is the first Black-owned senior living provider with multiple locations in Georgia and the first locally owned assisted living facility in the West Georgia area. It also notes the organization was named Douglas County's Small Business of the Year in 2024. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization as a formal token of recognition.
