For Immediate Release:
Buckner Named to Higher Education Committee
Atlanta Representative Gail Buckner, D-Jonesboro, has been named to the Higher Education Committee by Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman. Committee members review the University System of Georgia and the related partnerships, including the Georgia Research Alliance.
"I am happy I will have the chance to work more closely with Clayton College and State University," said Buckner. "I would like to thank Speaker Coleman for this wonderful opportunity."
The 180 member Georgia House is broken down into thirty-five standing committees which review, by subject area, thousands of bills and resolutions proposed each year aimed to amend Georgia statute. Without the committee system, lawmakers would become bogged down in the massive task of evaluating each bill presented for consideration. It therefore becomes the duty of the committee to sift through the mountain of proposals to find those most worthy of consideration by the full body of the House of Representatives.
"Rep. Buckner's' past outstanding service as representatives made this an easy appointment," said Speaker Coleman. "Her demonstrated ability and leadership will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the committee."
