Last week, Lt. Governor Burt Jones appointed Minority Leader Sen. Harold Jones II (D–Augusta) as Chairman of the Senate Study Committee on Improving Family Caregiver Services.
Sen. Jones expressed his gratitude for the appointment, stating, “I want to thank Lt. Governor Burt Jones for appointing me Chair of the Senate Study Committee on Improving Family Caregiver Services.” He emphasized the importance of this issue for families in Georgia, highlighting that many people find themselves in caregiving roles without adequate training or support. “Our goal with this committee is to determine how the State can better assist families as they care for their loved ones at home,” he added.
The committee’s mission is to establish policy goals and identify legislative actions to enhance family caregiving services. Other senators appointed to the committee include Sen. Chuck Hufstetler (R–Rome), Sen. Larry Walker III (R–Perry), Sen. Ben Watson (R–Savannah), and Sen. Kenya Wicks (D–Fayette).
More information about Senate Study Committees is available online.
Sen. Harold V. Jones II serves as the Democratic Leader representing the 22nd Senate District, which includes parts of Richmond County.
