SR999: SR999 Curtin, Kevin F.; recognize

Curtin, who serves as senior vice president of government relations for Georgia EMC, the association representing Georgia's 41 electric membership cooperatives, on the occasion of his retirement in July 2026. The resolution recounts Curtin's more than 30 year career in government relations, including work for a former state insurance commissioner, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, AT&T, and Georgia EMC, along with his education and civic involvement. It formally commends him for his service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide him a copy of the resolution.
