The House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee will continue its government transparency efforts, the Georgia House speaker vowed Tuesday.
The House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee will review state agencies to determine their compliance with the code and ensure that legislative intent is 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,” committee Chairman Steve Tarvin, R-Chickamauga, said in a statement. “We will work to eliminate regulatory burdens and ensure our great state maintains our designation as the Number One Place to do Business.”
Georgia politicos have sought to lessen the bureaucratic burden during recent sessions. For example, Republican Lt. Governor Burt Jones has touted the “Red Tape Rollback” initiative to eliminate unneeded regulations.
“Our government works best when it’s working for the people—and that includes our departments and agencies,” Speaker of the House Jon Burns, R-Newington, said in a statement. “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,” Burns added. “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.”
