En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It designates the week of April 20 through April 26, 2025 as Independent Order of Odd Fellows Week, marking the fraternal organization's 206th anniversary in North America and its 180th anniversary in Georgia. The resolution notes that April 26 is the founding date of the organization 206 years ago. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia. The resolution creates no new requirements, funding, or penalties; it is a formal statement of recognition.
