Mullis continues to serve as chairman of Senate Rules Committee

- From staff reports

Sen. Jeff Mullis (R–Chickamaug­a) has received his committee assignment­s for the 2021 legislativ­e session; the 156th General Assembly convened Jan. 11. Among his appointmen­ts, Mullis will continue serving as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee.

“It is an honor to have the opportunit­y to once again serve as chairman of the Rules Committee,” Mullis said. “This is a responsibi­lity that I do not take lightly, as I will be the last stop for pieces of legislatio­n before they make it to the Senate floor.

“This means I, and the other members of the Rules Committee, have the ability to make a positive impact in the lives of Georgians by ensuring the most important and productive legislatio­n is prioritize­d on the calendar,” he said. “We need to get started right away passing legislatio­n that will benefit Georgians during these challengin­g times, and I am eager to begin.”

Mullis will also serve as a member of the Appropriat­ions Committee, the Economic Developmen­t and Tourism Committee, and the Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee.

“These committee chairs are uniquely qualified to develop real and lasting solutions aimed at building a better Georgia,” said Lt. Gov. Geoff 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.”

Mullis represents the 53rd Senate District which includes Catoosa, Dade and Walker counties and portions of Chattooga County.
