Speaker of the House Jon Burns (R-Newington) announced continued government transparency efforts which will be conducted through the House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee.
“Our government works best when it’s working for the people—and that includes our departments and agencies,” said Speaker Jon Burns. “Since 2013, the Georgia House has championed efforts to identify and eliminate barriers to business growth across the state. This critical work will continue under the leadership of Chairman Tarvin who has been tasked with leading our efforts to cut through burdensome bureaucratic regulations, demand transparency and efficiency from our state agencies, and ensure that legislative intent is maintained at every stage of the rule-making process. The standing Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee will continue to build on our years of tireless work in the House to ensure our state maintains an environment where businesses of every size can thrive.”
The House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee will conduct reviews of state agencies to determine their compliance with code and to ensure that legislative intent was considered during the rule-making process.
“I’m honored that the Committee on Assignments has entrusted me to conduct this important work on behalf of the citizens and businesses who call Georgia home,” said Chairman Steve Tarvin (R-Chickamauga). “We will work to eliminate regulatory burdens and ensure our great state maintains our designation as the Number One Place to do Business.”
