The resolution also commends the people of Bangladesh for participating in recent national elections and encourages continued progress toward democratic governance, transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption efforts. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create any new requirement, funding, or penalty under Georgia law.
