En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It designates February 10, 2025, as Blue and White Day at the state capitol in honor of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, two historically Black Greek organizations with dozens of active chapters across Georgia. The resolution praises both groups for community service work, including efforts on health equity, voter education, and economic justice. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the two organizations. It does not create any new state program, funding, or legal requirement.
