En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law.

The resolution recounts his career highlights, including his hit songs, his 1988 Chaconia Medal Silver award, his 14 National Extempo Finals wins, and his past positions as a government minister and arts organization leader. It resolves that House members commend his cultural and musical contributions and wish him continued health and happiness, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to him.
