En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives does not change any state law. Instead, it formally commends Georgia's trauma professionals, the Georgia Trauma Commission, and the Georgia Trauma Foundation for their work treating and preventing physical trauma, which the resolution notes is the leading cause of death for people under 45 in the United States. The resolution designates February 24, 2026 as Trauma Awareness Day at the state capitol, meant to raise public awareness about physical trauma, encourage prevention and safety measures, support trauma care and rehabilitation services, and recognize the efforts of medical staff, community groups, and volunteers. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
