Georgia state Sen. Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga, will be in charge of several study committees this year.
The Georgia Senate Press Office announced Monday that Mullis will be co-chairman of three joint study committees in the coming months. He will also be chairman of two Senate study committees.
These groups are supposed to review issues during the fall and create a report with recommendations for potential law changes. The reports will be a reference guide for other representatives and lawmakers when the legislative session begins in January.
Mullis will be co-chairman of the State Commission on Narcotic Treatment Programs, the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure and Vehicle Joint Study Committee and the Music Economic Development Joint Study Committee. He also will serve as the chairman for the Senate Legislative Process Study Committee and the Senate Sexual Registry Study Committee.
“Sen. Jeff Mullis has a proven track record in addressing the needs of our citizens and will be an invaluable resource as co-chair of three joint study committees and as chair of two Senate study committees,” Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said in a statement. “I’m confident he will examine the issues at hand and provide new legislative recommendations to the General Assembly.”
