En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It praises the International Franchise Association (IFA) for advocating on behalf of franchise businesses and highlights franchising's economic impact, citing figures such as over 32,000 franchise establishments in Georgia employing more than 340,600 people and contributing over $34.6 billion in annual economic activity. The resolution notes that Georgia was recently named the top state for franchise growth by the IFA and lists well-known franchise brands headquartered in the state, including Chick-fil-A, Zaxby's, and Waffle House. It concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the International Franchise Association.
