Senator Brian Strickland has been reappointed as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary. The committee is responsible for overseeing legislation related to judicial proceedings in both civil and criminal matters, along with issues concerning civil liberties, constitutional matters, and general governmental information.

“I’m honored to serve another biennium as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary,” said Sen. Strickland. “The bills and resolutions that come before this committee require thorough and detailed deliberation. I am grateful to Lt. Governor Burt Jones and the Committee on Assignments for entrusting me with the responsibility of leading these proceedings. Georgians deserve to know that the legislation impacting our civil and criminal justice system and our Constitutional rights is carefully considered. I’m committed to achieving that goal this session.”

In addition to his role as Chairman, he will serve on several other Senate Committees: Appropriations, Banking and Financial Institutions, Ethics, and Health and Human Services.
