En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors the Georgia Festival of Trees, an event founded in 2021 that combines a holiday celebration with fundraising and awareness efforts aimed at combating the commercial sexual exploitation of women and children in Georgia. The resolution praises the festival's founder and executive director, Angie Ulibarri, for her work engaging volunteers and educating families about human trafficking. It formally states that the Senate recognizes the organization and wishes it continued success, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to the festival and to Ulibarri.
