SR867: SR867 Possibilities Unlimited for Women, Inc.; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring Possibilities Unlimited for Women, Inc. (PUFW), a nonprofit that helps women who have experienced domestic violence. The resolution describes the organization's work: running periodic boot camp programs that teach interviewing skills, financial literacy, resume writing, and dressing for success, and providing grants to help women pay utility, phone, and gas bills so they can focus on recovery. It also notes that since 2015 PUFW has funded book scholarships for 12th grade girls using its own money. The Senate resolves to recognize and commend the organization for its commitment to survivors of domestic violence, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide PUFW with a copy of the resolution. The resolution does not change any Georgia law or provide state funding.

• Formally states that the Georgia Senate recognizes and commends Possibilities Unlimited for Women, Inc. for its work supporting domestic violence survivors.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization.
• Creates no new law, program, funding, or penalty; it is a symbolic honor rather than a change to the Official Code of Georgia (O.C.G.A.).

Possibilities Unlimited for Women, Inc. and the women it serves, particularly domestic violence survivors and 12th grade girls who receive its book scholarships, are named in the resolution, along with the Secretary of the Senate who must distribute the copy.

The resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians; it is a public statement of appreciation. Its main real-world consequence is that the organization receives an official document from the Georgia Senate acknowledging its work with domestic violence survivors.

• The whereas clauses describe PUFW's mission, its boot camp programs in job and life skills, its utility and bill-payment grants, and its book scholarships for 12th grade girls since 2015.
• The first resolving clause has the Senate recognize and commend PUFW for its commitment to supporting domestic violence survivors.
• The second resolving clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to PUFW.
