LANE NAMED GAME FISH & PARKS PANEL CHAIR 
State Representative Bob Lane, D-Statesboro, has been re-named chairman of the House Game Fish and Parks Committee. 
Lane was appointed to the post by House Speaker Terry Coleman, DAtlanta. 
"The House is reliant on the committee system and leadership provided by the committee chairs," Speaker Coleman 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." 
Thirty-five 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 Lane's outstanding service to the House makes him an able and respected choice for chairman," Coleman said. "His demonstrated leadership and ability will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the Game Fish & Parks Committee and the House as a whole." 
The Game Fish and Parks Committee examines all bills relating to hunting, fishing, trapping, license fees, state parks and would handle any legislation dealing with the Game Fish and Parks Division within the Department of natural Resources.
