Last action February 24, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution commends the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions for their community service and leadership programs for young people.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Liberty County, Fulton County, and DeKalb County Youth Commissions for giving young people hands-on experience in local government and community service. The resolution describes activities such as a food and hygiene kit drive for people experiencing homelessness and participation in the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade. It formally commends the three youth commissions and wishes them continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the commissions.
