In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a bill that changes state law. It honors Medical Marijuana Therapeutics (MMT), a Georgia-based medical cannabis certification practice founded in 2019, for its role in Georgia's Medical Cannabis Program. The resolution describes MMT's leadership, including its chief medical officer, chief operating officer, and cannabis consultant, and praises the organization's patient care, education efforts, and statewide telemedicine services. It does not create any new legal requirements, funding, or regulatory changes. The House simply resolves to commend MMT and directs the Clerk of the House to provide the organization with an official copy of the resolution.
