This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes any statute.

It also credits a public-private partnership involving the state, DeKalb County, the City of Stonecrest, Congress, and companies like Georgia Power, Amazon, and Radius Recycling. The Senate directs that a copy be sent to the college.
