En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any statute. It designates January 30, 2025, as APRN Day at the state capitol, recognizing the more than 20,000 licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who work in Georgia. The resolution states that APRNs help expand health care access, promote health equity, and improve health outcomes for patients across the state. It commends the APRN workforce for their service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press. The resolution does not create funding, requirements, or changes to how APRNs are licensed or allowed to practice in Georgia.
Qué hace el proyecto de ley
- Formally recognizes January 30, 2025, as APRN Day at the Georgia state capitol.
- Commends Georgia's Advanced Practice Registered Nurse workforce for their role in patient care.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
- Does not amend any Georgia statute, create funding, or change APRN licensing or scope of practice rules.
A quién afecta
The resolution directly names Georgia's more than 20,000 licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and by extension the patients and communities who rely on them for health care. It has no direct legal effect on hospitals, insurers, or other providers.
Por qué importa
Because this is a symbolic resolution rather than a change to law, its practical effect is limited to public recognition. It does not alter APRNs' scope of practice, funding, or licensing, so day-to-day health care delivery in Georgia is unaffected.

- A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
