HR1626: HR1626 Young Democrats of Georgia Day at the state capitol; March 9, 2026; recognize

Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution recognizes March 9, 2026 as Young Democrats of Georgia Day at the state capitol, honoring the youth political organization's members and activities.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes March 9, 2026 as Young Democrats of Georgia Day at the state capitol, marking a visit by members of the Young Democrats of Georgia, an organization for people ages 14 to 40 who support the Democratic Party. The resolution's preamble describes the group's goals of engaging young people in politics and notes that many of its members have served as legislative aides, interns, staff, or even members of the General Assembly. The only operative action is that the House recognizes the day and directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
