HR2000: HR2000 Holy Week; March 29 to April 4, 2026; recognize

This is a resolution, not a law, passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It states that the House recognizes the week of March 29 to April 4, 2026, as Holy Week, referencing Christian traditions around the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resolution includes several whereas clauses about the number of Christians in Georgia, the diversity of Christianity, and religious statements about God. It does not create any new rules, spending, or legal requirements. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for distribution to the public and the press.

• Formally states that the House of Representatives recognizes March 29 to April 4, 2026, as Holy Week.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Does not amend any Georgia statute (O.C.G.A.) or create any enforceable legal obligation, funding, or penalty.

This resolution mainly affects the Georgia House of Representatives itself and its Clerk, who must prepare and distribute copies. It has symbolic significance for Georgia's Christian community but imposes no legal duties on residents, businesses, or agencies.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law, it does not change any rights, requirements, or funding for Georgians. Its main effect is a formal, public statement by the House recognizing a religious observance during that week.

• The resolving clause formally recognizes March 29 to April 4, 2026, as Holy Week.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and press.
• The preamble (whereas clauses) recites religious and demographic statements but has no independent legal effect.
