Bill > HR689

This resolution commends Judge Bryant Culpepper Jr. for his significant contributions to the Georgia judicial system, recognizing his distinguished service as both a legislator from Macon and a Superior Court Judge of Bibb County. Specifically, the resolution highlights his leadership as Chair of the Supreme Court Child Placement Project from 1996 to 2000, during which he played a crucial role in advocating for House Bill 182, a landmark piece of legislation that established the first state funding for juvenile court judges in Georgia. Prior to this bill, 14 judicial circuits lacked dedicated Juvenile Court Judges and were instead served by Superior Court Judges; today, because of Culpepper's efforts, the state supports 75 full-time and 27 part-time juvenile court judges. The resolution formally recognizes Culpepper's outstanding public service and commitment to the legal system, particularly in serving vulnerable children and families, and directs the House Clerk to provide him with an official copy of the resolution as a token of appreciation for his contributions to the state's judicial branch.
