SR644: SR644 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition; congratulate

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring the winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition, a scholarship pageant that judges young women on talent, interview skills, and evening gown presentation. It names six winners across different titles, including Miss Atlanta 2026 and Miss Atlanta Teen 2026, and notes that they will go on to represent greater Atlanta at the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia Teen competitions in Columbus, Georgia. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply has the Senate congratulate the winners and wish them continued success, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to each honoree.
