Howard Named Human Relations and Aging Chair
July 29, 2002
State Representative Henry Howard (D-Augusta) has been named chairman of the House Human Relations and Aging Committee. He replaces Roger Byrd (D-Hazlehurst) who is not seeking re-election.
Howard was named to the post by House Speaker Thomas Murphy (D-Bremen).
"The House is reliant on the committee system and leadership provided by the committee chairs," Speaker Murphy said. "The volume and variety of legislation introduced during a session requires careful review by the committees empaneled to study and make recommendations concerning the bills and resolutions in the areas of their expertise."
32 separate standing committees consider by subject area the thousands of bills and resolutions which are introduced each year and range from topics including state budgeting, the courts, public health and taxation.
"Representative Howard's outstanding service to the House makes him an able and respected choice for chairman," Murphy said. "His demonstrated leadership and ability will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the Human Relations and Aging Committee and the House generally for many more years."
The Human Relations and Aging Committee oversees legislation which deals with domestic concerns and issues affecting the elderly.
