Senator Clint Dixon Appointed to Senate Committees

ATLANTA (January 12, 2021) | Today, Sen. Clint Dixon (R – Gwinnett) was appointed to serve as Secretary of the Senate Committee on Transportation, as well as a member of several other influential committees for the 2021 Legislative Session by Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and the Senate Committee on Assignments.

“I am incredibly excited to have been selected to serve on several great committees including Banking and Financial Institutions, State Institutions and Property, and State and Local Governmental Operations, as well as being selected to serve as the Secretary of the Transportation committee. I believe my previous experience working as a Real Estate, Construction and Site Selection Manager will lead me well in many of these committees.”

“These committee chairs are uniquely qualified to develop real and lasting solutions aimed at building a better Georgia,” said Lt. Governor Duncan. “The Senate will continue to prioritize diligent committee work and sound public policy, and I look forward to working closely with each one of our chairs, and their committee members, as we work to enact policies that advance both the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians.”

Once a piece of legislation is introduced in the Senate, it is assigned to a committee, depending on its topic.  If the committee gives the legislation a “do pass” recommendation, then the proposed law is sent to the Rules Committee for consideration. The appointed chairs will oversee the operation and order of Senate committee meetings, including calling for action on bills, resolutions or other matters assigned to that committee. The first session of the 156th Georgia General Assembly convened on January 11, 2021, at the Georgia State Capitol
