HR 1501: Riekeman, Dr. Guy F; honoring the life and memory; condolences

This is a commemorative resolution, not a substantive bill. It honors the late Dr. Guy F. Riekeman, a respected chiropractor, former Life University president (2004-2017), and community leader who dedicated over 50 years to advancing chiropractic education and serving others. The resolution expresses the Georgia House of Representatives' condolences for his passing and directs the Clerk to provide a copy to his family. It has no policy impact or direct effect on citizens, as it is purely a symbolic tribute.
