Last action March 31, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends Zoreida Reyes-Garcia, a Georgia Gwinnett College student, for her work as a legislative intern at the State Capitol.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes Zoreida Reyes-Garcia, a Peachtree Corners resident and Georgia Gwinnett College sophomore studying Criminal Justice, for her service as a Legislative Intern in Representative Arlene Beckles' office through Georgia Gwinnett College's inaugural Capitol internship program. The resolution describes her work on legislative research, bill analysis, speeches, and constituent communications, including her contribution to House Bill 1142 on establishing a domestic violence registry in Georgia. The House resolves to commend her for her public service and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her with a copy of the resolution.
