MOSLEY TAPPED FOR GAME FISH & PARKS PANEL CHAIR

Atlanta – State Representative Hinson Mosley, D-Jesup, has been named Chairman of the House Game Fish and Parks Committee.

Mosley was appointed to the post by House Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman.

“Representative Mosley’s proven leadership while serving as Vice-Chairman of the House Human Relations and Aging Committee and as Vice-Chairman of the House Transportation Committee make him an able and respected choice for chairman,” Coleman said. “His demonstrated knowledge and ability will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the Game Fish & Parks Committee and the House as a whole.”

The House is reliant on the committee system and leadership provided by the committee chairs. The volume and variety of legislation introduced during a session requires careful review by the committees empaneled to study and make recommendations concerning the bills and resolutions in the areas of their expertise.

Thirty-five separate standing committees consider by subject area the thousands of bills and resolutions which are introduced each year and range from topics including state budgeting, the courts, public health and taxation.

The Game Fish and Parks Committee examines all bills relating to hunting, fishing, trapping, license fees, state parks and would handle any legislation dealing with the Game Fish and Parks Division within the Department of Natural Resources.

“I have long been involved with issues affecting Georgia’s wildlife and sportsmen,” said Mosley. “As a coastal area lawmaker, I have also served on various boards and panels aimed at preserving Georgia’s natural treasures for our future generations. Therefore, I am very grateful that Speaker Coleman has given me the opportunity to serve in this area.”
