SR722: SR722 Hunter, Dr. Anissa D.; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes Dr. Anissa D. Hunter, a United States Navy veteran who served as a Personnelman and Legalman aboard the USS Yosemite and USS Eisenhower. The resolution highlights her post-military career as an author, educator, and mental health advocate, noting her books on holistic living and leadership as well as her community work with groups like the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the American Legion. The resolution formally commends Hunter for helping Georgia leaders manage change and translate insight into action, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It has no regulatory or funding effect and does not alter any Georgia statute.
