In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or responsibilities. It formally recognizes February 10, 2026 as Interfaith Children's Movement Day at the capitol, honoring Interfaith Children's Movement (ICM), a Georgia nonprofit founded in 2001 that works on policy issues affecting children and families, such as education, child welfare, health access, and food security. The resolution describes ICM's mission and partnerships with faith communities and nonprofits, then directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization. It does not create any new rules, spending, or legal obligations; it is a formal statement of recognition.
