HR 1228: Lazzara, Christopher M.; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Christopher M. Lazzara. It does not change any Georgia law.

The resolution formally states that the House commends Lazzara and wishes him continued health, happiness, and success.
