HR1556: HR1556 Chapman, Kennedy; commend

This House resolution is a ceremonial measure from the Georgia General Assembly recognizing Kennedy Chapman, a senior at Central Fine Arts and International Baccalaureate Magnet High School in Macon. The resolution highlights her participation in the 2026 Showtime Pros Cotillion debutante program, her academic record, and her community service. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally states the House's recognition of Chapman's achievements, including her violin performance in her school's Orchestra Magnet Program, her membership in FBLA and DECA, her athletic participation, her dual-enrollment technical certificate, and her volunteer work at her church and a local food bank. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for presentation to Chapman.

• Formally recognizes and commends Kennedy Chapman for community service, leadership, academic excellence, and involvement in her school and church.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Kennedy Chapman.
• Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute; it is a ceremonial statement by the House of Representatives.

The resolution names Kennedy Chapman and describes her school, family, and community activities. It has no regulatory effect on the public and does not impose obligations on any government agency, business, or resident of Georgia.

• The resolving clause states the House's recognition and commendation of Chapman.
• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to Chapman.
