HR 1339: Gwinnett African American Caucus; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law.

The House formally commends the group for helping shape policies and platforms within the Democratic Party. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for distribution to GAAC as a keepsake of the honor.
