RANDALL TO CHAIR INTERSTATE COOPERATION COMMITTEE
Atlanta State Representative Nikki Randall, D-Macon, has been tapped to chair the House Interstate Cooperation Committee. House Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman, made the appointment.
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.
The House Interstate Cooperation Committee deals with legislation which could require Georgia to enter into cooperative agreements with other states on various matters.
"Representative Randall's outstanding service in the House and as Vice-Chair of the InterstateCooperation Committee makes her an able and respected choice," Speaker Coleman said. "Her demonstrated leadership and ability will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the committee and the House generally."
"This is a major win for Middle Georgia," said Randall. "I am humbled by my appointment and look forward to the challenges ahead."
