HR1601: HR1601 Walters, Dr. Jackie; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recounts the career of Dr. Jackie Walters, an OB-GYN known for her role on the Bravo series Married to Medicine, and praises her work as a breast cancer survivor, women's health advocate, author, and entrepreneur. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Dr. Walters as a keepsake. It has no funding, penalties, or effective date beyond its own passage, since it is a formal statement of recognition rather than a change to the Official Code of Georgia.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Dr. Walters.
