En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes rights or requirements. It commends the Georgia Academy of Audiology, a nonprofit that supports Georgia-licensed audiologists through advocacy, continuing education, networking, and public awareness about hearing health. The resolution notes that hearing loss affects millions of Americans and a growing number of Georgians, and describes audiologists as doctoral-level professionals who diagnose and treat hearing and balance disorders in settings ranging from hospitals to schools. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization. It does not create funding, penalties, or new rules.
