SR 416: Techbridge Day; recognize March 17, 2025

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It commends Techbridge Inc., a nonprofit founded in 2000 that provides technology support to organizations working on hunger relief, social justice, workforce development, and homelessness, for 25 years of work. The resolution recognizes March 17, 2025 as Techbridge Day at the state capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Techbridge Inc. It does not create any new requirements, funding, or penalties.

• Commends Techbridge Inc. by name for 25 years of nonprofit technology and capacity-building work.
• Designates March 17, 2025 as Techbridge Day at the Georgia state capitol.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Techbridge Inc.
• Creates no new law, funding, or enforceable obligations, since it is a commendatory resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia statutes.

Techbridge Inc., its leadership, staff, and partner organizations are the direct subjects of this honor. The resolution also involves the Secretary of the Senate, who must prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization.

The resolution has no legal or regulatory effect on Georgians generally. Its practical significance is symbolic: it gives public recognition from the state Senate to a nonprofit's 25 years of work in hunger relief, legal aid, workforce development, and homelessness assistance.

• The resolution recites Techbridge Inc.'s history since its 2000 founding and its four program areas: Hunger Relief, Social Justice, Workforce Development, and Homelessness.
• The resolved clause formally commends Techbridge Inc. on its 25th anniversary and designates March 17, 2025 as Techbridge Day at the state capitol.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to Techbridge Inc.
