In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It designates January 27, 2026, as Gwinnett Chamber Day at the state capitol, marking the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's 78th Annual Dinner and honoring its history and current leaders. The resolution recounts the chamber's founding in 1947, its membership of over 2,200 businesses and support for thousands of sole proprietors in Gwinnett County, its economic development work through Partnership Gwinnett, and its current leadership. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the chamber. It creates no new rules, funding, or penalties.
