In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Reverend Timothy H. Bullock, who was recently called to lead the congregation of Woods Memorial Baptist Church, following in the footsteps of his father, Reverend Dr. Samuel H. Bullock Jr. The resolution recounts Bullock's work as a pastor, including preaching, visiting the sick, counseling people in need, and performing baptisms, and praises his role as a spiritual and community leader. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for Bullock, but it creates no new laws, funding, or requirements.
