En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes March 23, 2026 as DeKalb Day at the state capitol. It does not change any law; instead it is a ceremonial statement praising DeKalb County's founding in 1822, its size and location between Atlanta and Athens, its universities and healthcare institutions, its diversity, and its economic activity in technology, film, logistics, and manufacturing. The resolution also credits DeKalb County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson as the first African American woman elected to that role. It directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press. The resolution has no enforcement mechanism, funding, or ongoing legal effect beyond the symbolic recognition.
