SR1007: SR1007 Gray, Ms. Shennill; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes any rights or duties. It honors Ms. Shennill Gray for her long career with the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program, which operates under the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). The resolution recounts her work over thirty years, including her role since 2016 supervising CJCC's Forensic Medical Examination and Forensic Interview programs, which support victims of violent crime. The Senate resolves to recognize and commend her service and congratulate her on her retirement, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of the resolution.

• Formally recognizes and commends Ms. Shennill Gray for her public service with the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program.
• Congratulates her on her retirement and extends wishes for her continued health and happiness.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Ms. Gray.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory change since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill.

The resolution directly names and honors Ms. Shennill Gray. It also touches the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and its Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program, where she worked, and indirectly reflects on the crime victims and families the program serves.
