SR846: SR846 Next Gen Youth Entrepreneurship Day; recognize February 17, 2026

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes February 17, 2026 as Next Gen Youth Entrepreneurship Day at the state capitol, an event hosted by Senator Randal Mangham that brings youth, parents, educators, and community leaders together at the Capitol. The resolution explains that the event is meant to teach young people about entrepreneurship, leadership, and civic engagement, and to give them exposure to how Georgia's legislature works. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press. It does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
