HR1645: HR1645 Sandberg, Jonathan; commend

Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution commends Jonathan Sandberg of the 46th District area for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting America.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Jonathan Sandberg for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout, a rank the resolution says only about one in 97 scouts ever attains. The resolution describes his Eagle Scout project, which involved beautifying the nature trail at Kennesaw First Baptist Church by adding a bench, a picnic table, fresh mulch, borders, and flowering plants. It formally commends him for his diligence and congratulates him on the achievement, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.

What the bill does

  • Formally commends and congratulates Jonathan Sandberg for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in Scouting America.
  • Recites his Eagle Scout project beautifying the nature trail at Kennesaw First Baptist Church.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to him.
  • Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, as is typical for a commendatory resolution.

Who it affects

The resolution directly names and honors Jonathan Sandberg. It does not impose duties on the public, businesses, or government agencies beyond the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare a copy for distribution.
