En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any statute. It recognizes dental hygienists for their work preventing oral disease and promoting oral health, noting they have served in this role in Georgia for more than 75 years. The resolution highlights that dental hygienists work in dental offices, public health facilities, schools, and research settings, and that many volunteer their time to serve elderly people, people with disabilities, and underprivileged residents. It designates February 5, 2025 as Dental Hygienists Appreciation Day at the state capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Dental Hygienists' Association.
