SR1104: SR1104 Weems, Chloe; commend

Last action April 2, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Senate resolution honors Chloe Weems, an Agnes Scott College student, for her work as a legislative intern in the Georgia Senate during the 2026 session.

In plain language

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia Senate, a formal but non-binding statement honoring an individual rather than changing any law. It recognizes Chloe Weems, a student at Agnes Scott College in Decatur studying political science with a minor in anthropology and sociology, for serving as an intern in Senator Kim Jackson's office during the 2026 regular session of the Georgia General Assembly. The resolution also notes her broader record of civic engagement, including community-based work through Agnes Scott's Sophomore Class Atlanta Leadership Experience, an externship with the International Rescue Committee, leadership roles in student organizations, and volunteer work as an assistant teacher and with Rise Against Hunger. The Senate directs that a copy be given to her, but the resolution creates no new rights, funding, or legal requirements.

What the bill does

  • Formally commends Chloe Weems for her service as a legislative intern in the Georgia Senate during the 2026 regular session.
  • Recites her academic pursuits, campus leadership roles, and volunteer and community service activities as grounds for the commendation.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Chloe Weems.
  • Creates no changes to Georgia law, funding, or regulations, since it is a purely honorary resolution.

Who it affects

This resolution directly names and honors Chloe Weems, a student at Agnes Scott College and legislative intern. It also references Senator Kim Jackson's office, Agnes Scott College, and organizations she has worked with, but imposes no obligations on any other Georgians.
