It honors Larry Pellegrini, describing his work as a longtime advocate for progressive causes and LGBTQ equality, including his early role as the first openly gay lobbyist at the Georgia State Capitol and his participation in the Cracker Barrel campaign against employment discrimination. The resolution also notes his leadership roles, including serving as executive director of the Georgia Rural Urban Summit and as a board member of the Georgia Stonewall Democrats. It formally states that the Senate recognizes and commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send him a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
