For Immediate Release:
MURPHY NAMED TO FOUR HOUSE PANELS
January 31, 2003
Atlanta-- State Rep. Quincy Murphy, D-Augusta, has been appointed to the Higher
Education, Transportation, and Insurance Committees. He has also been named
Secretary to the House Intra-governmental Coordination Committee, one of only a few
freshmen legislators in Georgia history to be named to such a post of leadership.
Murphy was named to the posts by House Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman.
The committee system enables lawmakers to break legislation down by subject
area in order to review and study proposed changes to state law. Legislatures rely heavily
on the committee system to develop a knowledgeable and focused review of proposed
legislation.
Each year literally thousands of bills and resolutions are introduced in the House
and Senate. No single legislator could possibly read all of the measures which are
drafted. By assigning legislation to committees with a specific area of expertise bills and
resolutions are assured of a fair hearing.
"Rep. Murphy has already shown a willingness to work hard," said Speaker
Coleman. "His work ethic, his expertise in the insurance industry, and his relationship
with the many quality institutions of higher learning located in his district will make him
a valuable member to these committees, and to the House in general."
"I am blessed and honored to have been entrusted with these responsibilities," said
Rep. Murphy. "It is my intention to use this opportunity to work, learn, and to serve the citizens of Augusta Richmond County and institutions of the 97th district as we move
forward."
