Bill > HR675

This resolution commends Keith Hatcher for his extensive career in public service and lobbying, particularly highlighting his long-standing work with the Georgia Association of REALTORS (GAR). The resolution traces Hatcher's professional journey from being a legislative intern in 1986 to becoming a prominent lobbyist, noting his significant legislative achievements such as helping pass key real estate laws and defeating proposed tax increases. It recognizes his leadership roles in various organizations, including serving on committees for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the National Kidney Foundation, and emphasizes that he worked effectively under six different Georgia Governors, Lieutenant Governors, and House Speakers. The resolution also humorously mentions his skills in pool and golf, and formally acknowledges his retirement in 2024 after opening his own consulting firm in 2016. Ultimately, the House of Representatives commends Hatcher for his efficient, effective, and unselfish public service, congratulates him on his retirement, and wishes him continued health and happiness, with the Clerk of the House directed to provide him with an official copy of the resolution.
