In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Senator Brandon Beach, who has represented the 21st District (parts of North Fulton and East Cobb counties) since 2013, for his work chairing the Senate Transportation Committee and the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee, as well as his service on the Appropriations, Rules, and Ethics committees. The resolution also highlights his business career, including founding the North Fulton Improvement District and serving on the boards of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority and the Georgia Department of Transportation. It congratulates him on being appointed by President Donald J. Trump as United States Treasurer, a federal role overseeing the U.S. Mint and Fort Knox. The Senate directs its Secretary to give Beach a copy of the resolution.
