ATLANTA (May 29, 2025) — Last week, Lt. Governor Burt Jones appointed Minority Leader, Sen. Harold Jones II (D–Augusta), as Chairman of the Senate Study Committee on Improving Family Caregiver Services.
“I want to thank Lt. Governor Burt Jones for appointing me Chair of the Senate Study Committee on Improving Family Caregiver Services,” said Sen. Jones. “This issue is critically important to families across Georgia. Every day, people across our state bring a loved one home from the hospital and instantly find themselves in the role of a health care provider, often without the training or support they need. Our goal with this committee is to determine how the State can better assist families as they care for their loved ones at home. I look forward to hearing directly from people across Georgia as we work to address this pressing issue.”
The Senate Study Committee on Improving Family Caregiver Services is tasked with determining policy goals and identifying legislative action to improve family caregiving. Additional Senate members appointed to the committee include Sen. Chuck Hufstetler (R–Rome), Sen. Larry Walker III (R–Perry), Sen. Ben Watson (R–Savannah) and Sen. Kenya Wicks (D–Fayette).
