En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It designates March 11, 2026, as Nurses Day at the state capitol and praises the more than 170,000 registered nurses in Georgia for their role in hospital and outpatient care. The resolution notes trends like an aging population, fewer rural healthcare options, and growth in home healthcare that are increasing demand for nursing services. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create funding, requirements, or penalties.
