In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes February 10, 2026 as Fayette Chamber Day at the Capitol, timed to a visit by participants in the Leadership Fayette program to the Georgia State Capitol. The resolution describes Leadership Fayette, a program started in 1980 by the Fayette Chamber of Commerce to develop civic-minded leaders in Fayette County, and states that participants will visit the Capitol that day to learn about the legislative process and meet state leaders. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to Leadership Fayette. It creates no new requirements, penalties, or funding.
