HR1566: HR1566 Asbury, E'Maya; commend

Last action March 3, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends E'Maya Asbury, a Heritage High School student-athlete and 2026 Showtime Pros Cotillion debutante, for her academic and community achievements.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing E'Maya Asbury, a junior at Heritage High School and participant in the 2026 Showtime Pros Cotillion debutante program. The resolution lists her accomplishments, including her ranking in the top ten in the state in the 300 meter hurdles, her involvement in the Audio and Film program at Rockdale Career Academy, membership in the BETA Club and FCCLA, and her role as Chaplain with the St. Paul Grand Lodge and Tinashe Grande Chapter Order of the Eastern Stars. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally commends Asbury for her service, leadership, academic excellence, and community involvement, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to her.

  • States findings about her academic record, athletic achievements, and extracurricular activities without creating any legal obligation.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Asbury.

Why it matters

This is a symbolic honor rather than a policy change. It has no practical effect on Georgians beyond formally recognizing one student's achievements in the official record of the Georgia House of Representatives.
