En lenguaje claro
This is a Georgia Senate resolution, a formal statement rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Hattie B. Dorsey, who died on May 29, 2024, and recounts her career as a pioneer in affordable housing and community development in metro Atlanta. It describes her roles with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Mayor Ivan Allen, Congressman Charles Weltner, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, as well as her work at the Atlanta Economic Development Corporation (now Invest Atlanta) and as founding President and CEO of the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership. The resolution states that the Senate joins in honoring her life and expressing regret at her passing, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to her family. It does not create any new law, funding, or ongoing program.
