As had been rumored, the Senate adopted new rules to cut Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle's power. Cagle will no longer have the power to make committee assignments and handle other administrative matters because that authority will now be transferred to a Committee on Assignments controlled by President Pro-Tem Tommie Williams (R-Lyons) and Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock).
As a result of the new Senate Rules, a few Senate Committee changes occurred. The Senate Retirement Committee will now be Chaired by Senator Tim Golden (R-Valdosta). Several new members were also appointed to the Committee. For a full listing of the Senate Retirement Committee, click here.
The House Retirement Committee will continue to be Chaired by Representative Howard Maxwell (R-Dallas). New members were also appointed to the Committee. For a full listing of the House Retirement Committee, click here.
