Speaker Williams announced the House Committees today. The appointments have not yet been posted to the legislative website, but should be available there soon. With all the subcommittees in the House, the list of appointments is extensive, therefore I am not posting it here in its entirety.
Speaker Williams has divided committee membership and chairmanship as evenly as possible between Democrats and Republicans. 7 standing committees are chaired by Republicans, 6 by Democrats. In most of the committees, membership of the committee is also divided equally between the parties.
There have been changes in some of the committees most important to county government. Rep. Curry Todd (R) of Shelby County will take over the chairmanship of the State and Local Government Committee. Rep. Harry Brooks (R) of Knox County will chair Education. Transportation will be chaired by Rep. Bill Harmon who had been the Secretary of the committee under the Chairmanship of Rep. Pinion who did not seek re-election. Rep. Craig Fitzhugh will remain Chair of the Finance Committee and Rep. Harry Tindell will continue to chair the powerful Finance Budget Subcommittee.
UPDATE -- House Committees are now available on the General Assembly's website.
