En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes January 29, 2026 as Strolling Thunder Day at the state capitol, marking an annual event organized by the Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students (GEEARS), a nonprofit that advocates for young children and their families. The resolution's preamble describes the importance of early childhood development, cites statistics on child poverty and low birthweight in Georgia, and notes state investments like Lottery-Funded Pre-K and a state child tax credit. The only operative actions are the formal recognition of the day and a directive for the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to GEEARS.
