SR 428 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Lopez family; recognize

This resolution (SR 428) formally recognizes and commends the Lopez family for their advocacy following a difficult legal experience, including false accusations that led to lost custody of their children. It specifically acknowledges their role in inspiring Georgia Senate Bill 259, which updated procedures for child abuse/neglect investigations. The resolution has no policy impact - it is a symbolic tribute adopted by the Georgia Senate on March 21, 2025, and does not create new laws or alter existing ones. It honors their efforts to improve the legal system for other families facing similar challenges.
