This Resolution establishes a House Study Committee on County Governance, comprised of five members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker, who will also designate a chairperson. The committee's purpose is to study the conditions, needs, issues, and problems related to county governance and to recommend any necessary actions or legislation. The committee can hold meetings at convenient times and places, and its members will receive allowances as provided by Georgia law, capped at five days unless extended. Funding for the committee will come from the House of Representatives' appropriations. The committee is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Clerk of the House of Representatives by December 1, 2018, provided the report is approved by a majority vote of a quorum. If no approved report is finalized, the chairperson may submit meeting minutes instead. The committee will be dissolved on December 1, 2018.
