SR 684 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

American Heart Month; recognize February 2026

This is a symbolic Senate resolution (SR 684), not a law. It formally recognizes February 2026 as "American Heart Month" in the state. The resolution cites statistics on cardiac arrest and CPR effectiveness but does not create new requirements, funding, or policy changes. It simply encourages residents to learn CPR and promotes awareness of cardiac emergency response. The resolution passed the Senate but has no direct effect on individuals or programs.
