America 250 Day; recognize April 1, 2026
This bill is a Senate resolution that recognizes April 1, 2026, as America 250 Day at the state capitol to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The resolution does not create new laws or change existing policies but serves as a formal acknowledgment of Georgia's historical role in American history, including its contributions to the founding of the United States and its cultural significance. The Senate is authorized to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press, making it a commemorative measure rather than a legislative change.
