ATLANTA – The Georgia House of Representatives’ Committee on Assignments named State Representative Steven Sainz (R-St. Marys) as the Chairman of the House Special Rules Committee.
“It is an honor to be one of the first Hispanic-American Georgians to serve as House committee leadership,” said Rep. Sainz. “This reflects the growing diversity of our Republican Majority Caucus and our General Assembly as a whole. I appreciate the confidence Speaker Burns and my House colleagues have placed in me with this appointment. Though my coastal community is one of the farthest from our State Capitol, the continued priority of making the needs of Camden and Glynn County relevant to our state leaders remains.”
The House Committee on Assignments, chaired by House Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington), is charged with making all House committee assignments for the members of the Georgia House of Representatives.
“I look forward to working with my Vice Chair, Representative Bethany Ballard, and fellow committee members on assigned legislation,” added Rep. Sainz. “This session, we will remain committed to vetting and developing potential study committees to analyze emerging issues for Georgia citizens and considering resolutions that address our federal government’s actions in a way that best serves our state.”
The Special Rules committee hears legislation creating House and Joint study committees on various subjects. The committee also deals with supporting resolutions to urge the United States Congress, change State symbols, and designate State holidays.
Additionally, the House Committee on Assignments has appointed Rep. Sainz to serve as a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Human Resources and the Defense & Veterans Affairs, Governmental Affairs, Judiciary Non-Civil, Public Safety and Homeland Security, Technology and Infrastructure Innovation and Ways & Means committees.
