SR 1072 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Newman, Donald; recognize and commend

This bill is a Senate resolution that recognizes and commends Donald Newman for his extensive public service to Georgia. It directly affects Newman by formally honoring his 44 consecutive years of service on the Mount Zion City Council and his leadership roles in community organizations like the Carroll County Water Authority and a local health care clinic. The resolution highlights his long-standing contributions to civic welfare and authorizes the Senate Secretary to provide a copy of the commendation to Newman. This is a ceremonial measure that acknowledges past achievements rather than establishing new laws or policies.
