HR1573: HR1573 Harden, Carrie Lula Neal; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Carrie Lula Neal Harden, who was born on March 8, 1934, in Gibson, Georgia, and is celebrating her 92nd birthday this year. The resolution describes her as a longtime member of Shiloh Baptist Church who serves on its Mother Board, and praises her as a supportive, generous presence in her family and community. The resolution formally commends her for her service to family and community, congratulates her on her birthday, and wishes her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. The measure carries no legal or regulatory effect; it is a tribute rather than a change to Georgia law.

• Formally commends Carrie Lula Neal Harden for her service to her family and community.
• Congratulates her on turning 92 years old.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to her.

The resolution directly names and honors Carrie Lula Neal Harden of Gibson, Georgia, and by extension her family, church community at Shiloh Baptist Church, and the House Clerk's office, which must prepare the commemorative copy.

The resolution has no regulatory or budgetary effect on Georgians generally; its practical impact is a formal, on-the-record honor for one individual, providing her and her family with an official state recognition of her life and 92nd birthday.

• The resolved clause commends Harden for her service to family and community and congratulates her on her 92nd birthday.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to produce a copy of the resolution for distribution to Harden.
