SR969: SR969 Mauney, Karon; honor

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes anyone's rights or responsibilities. It recognizes Karon Mauney for nearly twenty years of work in Northwest Georgia, including her current role at the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention and Visitors Bureau, her long service with the Bartow County Fire Department and Bartow County Government, and her earlier work with the American Red Cross. The resolution also credits her with founding and running two community events, the Northwest Georgia Women's Expo since 2010 and Christmas Village, Cartersville since 2017. The Senate resolves to honor and commend her, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.

• Formally honors and commends Karon Mauney for her public service and business leadership in Cartersville and Bartow County.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and make available a copy of the resolution for distribution to Karon Mauney.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a ceremonial statement of the Senate's views.

The resolution names Karon Mauney directly. It also touches the organizations described in the text, including the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Bartow County Fire Department, Bartow County Government, and the community events she founded.

The resolution has no legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a symbolic honor. Its practical outcome is a formal Senate record praising one individual's community work, with a copy provided to her, and no changes to any Georgia statute or program.

• The whereas clauses recount Mauney's employment history, including her current role at the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention and Visitors Bureau since May 2018.
• The whereas clauses describe her prior roles with the Bartow County Fire Department (since 2013) and Bartow County Government's Human Resources office (2010-2013).
• The resolved clause formally honors and commends her for her leadership and service to Cartersville and Bartow County.
• The final clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to her.
