HR1181: HR1181 Georgia State Society National Society Children of the American Revolution; celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United State of America; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It honors the Georgia State Society National Society Children of the American Revolution (G.S.S.N.S.C.A.R), a youth organization that has operated in Georgia since 1936, for teaching young Georgians about the nation's history and civic values. The resolution notes that 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and praises the group's volunteer work, historical preservation, and public service. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization, but it creates no new requirements, funding, or legal changes.

• Formally recognizes and commends the Georgia State Society National Society Children of the American Revolution for its civic and educational work with youth.
• States the House's support and best wishes for the organization as the country marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization.
• Creates no statutory changes, funding, or enforceable requirements; it is a ceremonial expression of the House's views.

The resolution directly names the Georgia State Society National Society Children of the American Revolution and its members and leadership. It has no legal effect on any other group, agency, or member of the public.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than binding legislation, it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements on anyone. Its practical effect is limited to a formal House statement of recognition and a copy of the resolution given to the organization.

• The whereas clauses describe the organization's founding in 1895 nationally and 1936 in Georgia and its mission of civic education for youth.
• The first resolving clause has the House of Representatives formally recognize and commend the organization for its contributions to youth education and patriotic development.
• The second resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization.
