En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a national professional organization for obstetrics and gynecology doctors, on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. The resolution states that ACOG has more than 62,000 members nationwide, including 1,727 in Georgia, and credits the group with work on maternal health, protecting the patient-physician relationship, protecting access to health care, and legally protecting access to IVF (in vitro fertilization). The Senate resolves to commend ACOG's members for their dedication to improving patient health in Georgia and beyond, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the organization.
