En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill that changes Georgia law. It commends the Georgia FFA Association, a youth organization focused on agricultural education, and designates February 24, 2026, as FFA Day at the state capitol. The resolution's text describes the FFA's size in Georgia (more than 80,000 members in 410 local chapters), its mission of building leadership and career skills through agricultural education, and its role preparing students for careers in agriculture and agribusiness. It directs that a copy of the resolution be made available to the Georgia FFA Association. It does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
