HR1320: HR1320 Hydrick, Honorable Judge Stacey K.; distinguished judicial service; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Judge Stacey K. Hydrick, who was appointed to the DeKalb County Superior Court in 2019 by Governor Brian Kemp and previously served as a DeKalb County State Court Judge under Governor Nathan Deal. The resolution also notes her earlier career as a prosecutor, including work as a Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney, Special Assistant United States Attorney, and Assistant Attorney General. The resolution has the House formally commend and honor Judge Hydrick for her judicial service and extend appreciation for her work. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It creates no new rules, funding, or legal requirements.
