En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Great Dane, a Savannah-based trailer manufacturer, on the 125th anniversary of its founding.

The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's congratulations to Great Dane and its wishes for the company's continued growth and success, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to the company.
