A Georgia Senate resolution honors Ms. Sharon J. Hill of Cobb County for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award for her community service. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It congratulates Ms. Sharon J. Hill, a community leader and advocate for social justice and voting rights, for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, given each year during Women's History Month by the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus. The resolution recounts Hill's background as a media relations strategist for Senator Donzella James, her leadership roles with groups like the NAACP and the League of Women Voters of Georgia, and past honors including a 2021 United Nations Human Rights Ambassador designation from Trinity University. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for Hill as a keepsake. It creates no new rules, funding, or penalties. ### What it does - Formally congratulates and commends Ms. Sharon J. Hill for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award. - Recites her community service history, including work with the NAACP and the League of Women Voters of Georgia. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Hill. - Does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose any new requirement. ### Who it affects The resolution names and honors Ms. Sharon J. Hill specifically. It also references the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus, which presents the award, and mentions former Representative Nikki T. Randall, for whom the award is named. ### Why it matters This resolution has no legal or practical effect on Georgians beyond formally recognizing one individual's community service. It documents the Senate's appreciation and provides Hill with an official record of the honor, but it does not alter any law, program, or funding. ### Key provisions - The resolved clause has the Senate congratulate and commend Ms. Sharon J. Hill for the 2026 award and wish her continued success. - A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy of the resolution available to Hill. - The preamble (whereas clauses) details her career, community leadership roles, and prior honors, providing background rather than operative action. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-03-10) - Last action: Senate Read and Adopted (2026-03-10) - Sponsors: Donzella James, RaShaun Kemp, Emanuel Jones, Kenya Wicks, David Lucas, Jaha Howard, Derek Mallow, Josh McLaurin, Ed Harbison, Sally Harrell, Gail Davenport, Nikki Merritt, Kim Jackson, Nan Orrock, Michael Rhett - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74005 > The history, votes, and amendments (94 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/sr935.md?full=1
