SR 540: Beach, Senator Brandon; appointment as United States Treasurer in the current Trump Administration; congratulate

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Senator Brandon Beach, who has represented the 21st District (parts of Cherokee and Fulton counties) since 2013, for his work chairing the Senate Transportation Committee and the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee, along with his service on other committees and his business career in North Fulton. The resolution congratulates Beach on being appointed United States Treasurer by President Donald J. Trump, noting he is the first Georgian to hold that federal role. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Beach. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia law.
