HR1267: HR1267 Emergency Management Association of Georgia; Emergency Management Association Day at the state capitol; 02/26/26; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It praises the Emergency Management Association of Georgia, a professional organization for people who work in emergency management, for its work supporting members, promoting professionalism, and advising local agencies and the State of Georgia Emergency Management Agency. The resolution formally recognizes February 26, 2026, as Emergency Management Association Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the association, so the group has an official record of the recognition.
