En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes February 4, 2026, as Hispanic Day at the state capitol. It does not create any new law, program, or funding; it is a ceremonial statement honoring the more than one million Georgians of Hispanic American heritage, describing their role in the state's economy, culture, and civic life, including work in carpet manufacturing, poultry processing, agriculture, retail, the military, and academia. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press. It has no enforcement mechanism, penalty, or budget attached, and it does not amend the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.
