En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes John Allen Stevens for his career, which included service in the United States Army Intelligence branch, 23 years as director of security at First Baptist Atlanta, eight years in the Fulton County Sheriff's Reserve Unit, six years with the City of Atlanta Police Department, and 13 years at the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, where he became a lieutenant and chief of staff. The resolution states that Stevens will retire on April 27, 2026. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to him. It does not create any new rule, program, or funding; it simply honors his service and offers well wishes.
