SR 197 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Muslim Appreciation Day; recognize February 20, 2025

This bill is a ceremonial resolution designating February 20, 2025, as "Muslim Appreciation Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It honors the contributions of Georgia's Muslim community - over 200,000 people - to the state's cultural, economic, and civic life, including fields like business, education, and public service. The resolution specifically acknowledges community leaders and organizations like IMAN Atlanta and ICNA Relief Atlanta for their work. As a symbolic gesture, it has no legal effect or policy changes, merely directing the Senate to recognize the day publicly. The resolution is currently pending in the Georgia Senate.
