En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It honors the more than 26,000 licensed emergency medical services (EMS) personnel in Georgia, noting that the state's EMS system is in its 49th year and that these workers respond to nearly one million calls annually. The resolution formally designates February 28, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services Recognition Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the chairman of the Georgia Emergency Medical Services Association and the director of the state's Office of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma. The resolution creates no new requirements, funding, or penalties.
