The Georgia House of Representatives’ Committee on Assignments named State Representative Bill Yearta (R-Sylvester) as the Chairman of the House Code Revision Committee.

“I am honored to serve in this new capacity as Chairman of the House Code Revision Committee,” said Rep. Yearta. “I look forward to working with Speaker Jon Burns and my colleagues in the General Assembly to continue to make Georgia the best place to live, work and raise a family.”

The House Committee on Assignments, chaired by House Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington), is charged with making all House committee assignments for the members of the Georgia House of Representatives.

The Code Revision Committee is responsible for technical and grammatical revisions of Georgia's statutes. Its goal is to revise, modernize and correct errors or omissions in Georgia's Code and to repeal those portions which have become obsolete, have been declared to be unconstitutional or have been preempted or superseded by subsequent laws.

Additionally, Rep. Yearta was named as the Vice Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government, which assists in drafting portions of the state budget for several state agencies.
