En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia Senate does not change any law. Instead, it formally recognizes April 1, 2026, as America 250 Day at the state capitol, ahead of the actual 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. The bulk of the text is a series of 'whereas' clauses describing Georgia's history and contributions to the United States, including its founding as the 13th colony, its role in ratifying the Constitution, notable Georgians like Martin Luther King Jr. and Jimmy Carter, and the state's economic and cultural standing. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It has no enforcement mechanism and creates no new rules or funding.
