SR630: SR630 Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day; recognize February 10, 2026

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, an organization founded in 1937 that now has 158 county chapters and more than 235,000 members, for its work supporting Georgia agriculture through advocacy, insurance, and banking services. The resolution formally designates February 10, 2026 as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the Farm Bureau. The resolution does not create any new statute, spend state funds, or impose any requirements on individuals or businesses.

• Designates February 10, 2026 as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol.
• Recognizes the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation's history, membership size, and services to Georgia farmers.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization.
• Creates no new legal obligations, funding, or changes to Georgia law.

The resolution directly names the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation and its members, a statewide organization of farmers, along with the Secretary of the Senate, who is tasked with distributing a copy of the resolution to the group.

The resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians' daily lives; it is a symbolic honor. Its main real-world consequence is a formal Senate acknowledgment of the Farm Bureau's role in Georgia agriculture and a scheduled recognition day at the Capitol.

• The resolution states the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation was formed in 1937 and has grown to 158 county chapters with over 235,000 members.
• The resolving clause formally designates February 10, 2026 as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol.
• A further resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy available for distribution to the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation.
