En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Dr. Richard D. Myles, Sr. It does not change any Georgia law.

The resolution recounts his work on drug prevention, violence reduction, youth mentorship, and his role as President, CEO, and Board Chair of the MFL Foundation, along with various honors he has received including the President's Lifetime Achievement Award. The House resolves to honor him, congratulate him on that award, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Myles.
