HR 1756: White, Andre Moses; honoring the life and memory; condolences

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recounts the life of Andre Moses White, who was born in Florida, played professional football for the Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, and Cincinnati Bengals, and later worked in Hillsborough County government before moving to Atlanta in the late 1980s. The resolution describes his community work in Atlanta, including leading the Auburn Avenue Merchants Association, founding a newspaper called The Georgia Sentinel, organizing health fairs, and starting the Moses White Foundation. It formally expresses the House's regret at his passing and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to his family.

• Formally states that the House of Representatives honors the life and memory of Andre Moses White and expresses regret at his death.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to White's family.
• Recites biographical details about White's football career, government service, and community organizing as the basis for the honor.
• Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing legal obligation; it is a one-time expression of tribute.

The resolution directly names Andre Moses White's family, who will receive the official copy, and reflects recognition by the Georgia House of Representatives, particularly members representing Atlanta-area districts who introduced it.

The resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians generally. Its practical significance is symbolic: it places an official record of tribute to White's life and community contributions into the House's records and provides his family a formal keepsake from the legislature.

• The resolving clause states the House joins in honoring White's life and memory and expresses regret at his passing.
• A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to White's family.
