POWELL NAMED GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS PANEL CHAIR
State Representative Alan Powell, D-Hartwell, has been named chairman of the House Governmental Affairs Committee.
Powell 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 Powell'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 Governmental Affairs Committee and the House as a whole."
The Governmental Affairs Committee oversees state election law, professional and occupational licensing laws and several operational issues affecting state government.
