SR850: SR850 Rumbaugh, Denise; recognize

Last action February 25, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution honors Gwinnett County community volunteer Denise Rumbaugh for her years of service on local civic, education, and political bodies.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Denise Rumbaugh of Gwinnett County for her service on several local boards and committees, including the Gwinnett County Zoning Board of Appeals, the Citizens Budget Review Committee, the Gwinnett Education Management System Oversight Committee, and the Gwinnett County Republican GOP leadership. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the document for Rumbaugh, so she has a formal record of the honor. It does not create any new rule, program, or funding; its only effect is to place the Senate's commendation on the official record.
