HR 1211: Washington, Councilwoman Alecia; outstanding public service; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Councilwoman Alecia Washington of Stonecrest for her years of community service, including her work through her nonprofit organization, City of Hope Safe Haven, which the resolution says has provided food, clothing, housing help, and other resources to more than 10,000 residents. The resolution also notes her partnerships with groups such as the Department of Homeland Security's Community Emergency Response Team and several local and national organizations. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to Washington as a formal token of recognition. It does not create programs, spend money, or alter any Georgia statute.

• Formally commends Alecia Washington for her public service as a Stonecrest councilwoman and community leader.
• Recognizes her nonprofit, City of Hope Safe Haven, for providing food, clothing, housing, and resource programs to over 10,000 residents.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Washington.
• Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing program; it is a one time honorary statement by the House.

The resolution directly names Councilwoman Alecia Washington of Stonecrest. It also references her nonprofit organization, City of Hope Safe Haven, and several partner organizations, but it imposes no obligations or effects on the general public.

This resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians statewide. Its practical significance is symbolic: it gives official, public recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives to a local official's community service work in Stonecrest.

• The whereas clauses describe Washington's community work in Stonecrest, including outreach, mentoring, food and clothing distribution, and housing initiatives.
• The resolved clause formally commends Washington for her public service on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to Washington for distribution.
