Speaker Coleman Names House Protection from the Dangers of Methamphetamine Manufacture Study Committee
Atlanta -- House Speaker Terry Coleman (D-Eastman) has appointed Representatives Barbara Massey Reece (Chair), D-Menlo, Mike Snow, D-Chickamauga, Howard Mosby, D-Atlanta, David Graves, R-Macon and Curtis Jenkins, D-Forsyth to the House Protection from the Dangers of Methamphetamine Manufacture Study Committee. The committee will make recommendations to the House of Representative for consideration.
Members are charged with making a careful study of residual effects of exposure to toxic fumes generated by methamphetamine manufacture, particularly with regard to children. They will also investigate the best practices for scouring the site of a former methamphetamine laboratory, procedures for ensuring that such a site is a safe for human occupancy and methods for informing the public of locations of former methamphetamine laboratories.
"The abuse of methamphetamine and illicit manufacture of methamphetamine have been growing rapidly in Georgia," said Speaker Coleman. "This has resulted in many instances of tragic human injuries and extensive property damage because of these laboratories that are used to produce the harmful drug. The committee will diligently look into this important matter and report its findings to the House for consideration."
