En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any rights or requirements. It commends licensed marriage and family therapists in Georgia for their training, ethical standards, and contributions to mental health care, and it designates February 11, 2026 as Marriage and Family Therapy Day at the Capitol. The resolution describes marriage and family therapy as one of five licensed mental health professions in Georgia, overseen by the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. It does not create new rules, funding, or penalties.
