HR1226: HR1226 Collins, Sandra A.; honoring the life and memory; condolences

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes the life of Sandra A.

Church and an active participant in community organizations such as the Georgia Association for Primary Health Care, the Savannah Branch NAACP, and the Savannah Chapter of the American Business Women's Association. The resolution states that the House joins in honoring her memory and expressing sympathy over her passing. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for delivery to her family.

• Formally honors the life and memory of Sandra A. Collins on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives.
• Expresses the House's sincere regret over her death.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and deliver a copy of the resolution to her family.

The resolution directly names Sandra A. Collins' family, the Clerk of the House of Representatives who must prepare the copy, and by extension the Savannah-area community groups and church mentioned in the text.

• The resolved clause states the House joins in honoring Sandra A. Collins' life and memory and expresses regret at her passing.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to her family.
