Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution honors Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Tri Mu Chapter for its community service in Douglas, Paulding, and Carroll Counties, with no changes to state law.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It recognizes Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Tri Mu Chapter, for its work in Douglas, Paulding, and Carroll Counties, citing the fraternity's mentorship programs, scholarship efforts, civic engagement, youth development activities, and charitable outreach. The resolution formally commends the fraternity's brothers for their service and leadership, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization. It does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
What the bill does
- Formally recognizes Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Tri Mu Chapter for community service in Douglas, Paulding, and Carroll Counties.
- States the House's commendation of the fraternity's mentorship, scholarship, civic engagement, and charitable work in the region.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the fraternity.
- Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory changes since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia code.
Who it affects
This resolution directly names Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Tri Mu Chapter, and its members. It has no legal effect on the general public, businesses, or government agencies beyond the House Clerk's office, which handles distributing the printed resolution.
Why it matters
The resolution carries symbolic weight rather than practical consequences: it gives the fraternity formal recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives for its community work, but it does not change any law, create funding, or impose new obligations on anyone in Georgia.
Key provisions
- The resolving clause recognizes the fraternity for its longstanding service and contributions to Douglas, Paulding, and Carroll Counties.
- A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make a copy available for distribution to the fraternity.
- The preamble (whereas clauses) lists the fraternity's stated principles and community activities as the basis for the recognition, but these clauses are not operative law.
