In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Kevin F. Curtin, who has worked in government relations for over 30 years, including more than two decades at AT&T and, since 2021, as senior vice president of government relations for Georgia EMC, the association representing Georgia's electric membership cooperatives. The resolution recounts his career history, civic involvement with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, education, and family, and states he will retire in July 2026. It closes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to Curtin as a keepsake. It creates no new rules, funding, or legal requirements.
