Rep. Lynn Smith

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes February 6, 2025, as "Keep Georgia Beautiful Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It honors the work of the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation and its network of 70+ local affiliates, which run community programs like litter prevention, recycling drives, and beautification initiatives. The resolution does not create new laws or funding - it is a symbolic gesture to acknowledge the foundation’s annual impact, including reducing litter by 75% over 15 years and engaging over 99,000 volunteers yearly. It affects public awareness of the foundation’s efforts but has no direct policy or financial impact.
