En lenguaje claro
This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring the Statewide Independent Living Council of Georgia (SILCGA), a private nonprofit that guides independent living programs for people with disabilities across the state. The resolution describes SILCGA's origins under the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, its role in developing Georgia's State Plan for Independent Living for 2025-2027, and its work through local Centers for Independent Living, public education efforts, and research on the needs of people with disabilities. The Senate resolves to recognize and commend the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to SILCGA.
