JENKINS NAMED TO THREE HOUSE PANELS
State Rep. Charles Jenkins, D-Blairsville, has been named to the Banks and Banking, Economic Development and Tourism and Game, Fish and Parks committees.
Jenkins 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. 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. Legislatures rely heavily on the committee system to develop a knowledgeable and focused review of proposed legislation and in Georgia a bill cannot see action on the House floor without a favorable nod by the committee to which it is assigned. With rare exception, most members of the House of Representatives are assigned to three standing committees.
