SR991: SR991 Grayson Day; recognize March 17, 2026

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes March 17, 2026, as Grayson Day at the Capitol, marking the history of the City of Grayson in Gwinnett County, which was incorporated in 1902. The resolution recounts the city's founding families, early churches and schools, its railroad history from 1898 to 1932, and notable historic sites such as the Cofer Home and the Old Grayson Post Office. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press, but it creates no new legal requirements, funding, or penalties.
