En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Goodwill of North Georgia, a nonprofit founded in Atlanta in 1925, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. The resolution recounts the organization's history and impact, including serving more than 700,000 Georgians, facilitating over 300,000 job placements, and operating more than 70 retail stores, 40 donation centers, and 14 career centers across a 45-county region in North Georgia. The Senate formally commends the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send it a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
