En lenguaje claro
This Senate resolution recognizes March 23, 2026, as DeKalb Day at the state capitol. It does not change any Georgia law; instead it is a ceremonial statement praising DeKalb County's history since its founding in 1822, its universities, its healthcare and research institutions such as the CDC and Emory Healthcare, its cultural diversity, and its economic role in technology, film, logistics, and manufacturing. The resolution also highlights the county's current leadership under CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. Because it is a resolution rather than a bill, it carries no legal requirements, funding, or penalties; it simply records the Senate's recognition of the day and county.
