HR 1920: Legal externs for the 2026 regular session of the General Assembly of Georgia; commend

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial measure from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing law students who worked as externs during the 2026 legislative session, helping House committees and legal offices function. The resolution names specific students from the Georgia State University College of Law, Mercer University School of Law, and Emory University School of Law who served in offices such as the Office of Legislative Counsel, the House Judiciary Committee, the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee, and the Office of General Counsel for the Georgia General Assembly. It states the House commends them for their work and wishes them success. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to each named extern.

• Formally commends named law student externs for their service during the 2026 Georgia legislative session.
• Lists the specific students and the House committees or legal offices where they worked as externs.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to each named extern.
• Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing program; it is a one-time honorary statement.

The named law student externs from Georgia State University, Mercer University, and Emory University law schools, the House committees and legal offices where they worked, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives who must distribute copies of the resolution.

The resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians generally. Its real world impact is limited to publicly recognizing specific law students for their work assisting the Georgia General Assembly, which may be a meaningful professional acknowledgment for those individuals.

• The whereas clauses identify the externs by name and the law school and legislative office each served: Georgia State University, Mercer University, and Emory University law schools.
• The resolved clause has the House of Representatives commend the externs and wish them success in future pursuits.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to each named extern.
