SR744: SR744 Stilettos on Steel Day; recognize May 2, 2026

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Stilettos on Steel, a national organization for female motorcyclists, and specifically its Newnan chapter, which was founded in July 2023 and has 44 members. The resolution notes the chapter's community work, including support for the Coweta Samaritan Clinic, Wreaths Across America, and local police 'Shop with a Cop' programs. It highlights the chapter's planned all-female motorcycle ride on May 2, 2026, through Coweta, Troup, and Meriwether counties, escorted by law enforcement, with proceeds going to the Coweta County Sheriff's Department to buy bicycles for teenage girls. The Senate designates that date as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the Georgia State Capitol, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the group.
