SR660: SR660 Interfaith Children's Movement Day; recognize February 10, 2026

Last action February 2, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution designates February 10, 2026 as Interfaith Children's Movement Day at the state capitol, honoring the advocacy group's work on child and family policy.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial measure from the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law. Instead, it formally recognizes February 10, 2026 as Interfaith Children's Movement Day at the capitol, honoring Interfaith Children's Movement (ICM), a Georgia-based organization founded in 2001 that works on policy affecting children and families. The resolution describes ICM's mission, which includes education equity, child welfare, maternal and infant health, health access, economic security, and food security, and notes its partnerships with faith communities and nonprofits. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization as a keepsake of the recognition.

What the bill does

  • Formally designates February 10, 2026 as Interfaith Children's Movement Day at the Georgia capitol.
  • Recites the history and policy priorities of Interfaith Children's Movement, including child welfare, health access, and economic security.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
  • Creates no new law, funding, or enforcement mechanism since it is a commemorative resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia code.

Who it affects

The resolution directly names Interfaith Children's Movement, a Georgia nonprofit policy and advocacy organization, and the Georgia Senate, which extends the honor. It has no direct legal effect on other individuals, agencies, or businesses.

Why it matters

Because this is a symbolic honor rather than a change to Georgia law, its main real-world effect is public recognition for the organization's advocacy work on children's issues, along with a keepsake copy of the resolution rather than any new rights, funding, or obligations for Georgians.
