State Representative Chuck Martin (R-Alpharetta), chairman of the House Study Committee on Funding for Next Generation 9-1-1, has announced the schedule for the committee’s 2025 meetings. The committee will hold sessions in Roswell on August 27, Warner Robins on September 29, and Savannah on October 16. These dates and locations may change.
“Through the House Study Committee on Funding for Next Generation 9-1-1, we have an important opportunity to take a close look at how Georgia can best support one of our most vital public safety services,” said Chairman Martin. “This committee intends to hold meetings across Georgia with the objective of gathering input from communities statewide. I look forward to working closely with my fellow committee members as we explore ways to strengthen and modernize our 9-1-1 system to ensure the state’s emergency communication network continues to provide reliable, lifesaving service for all Georgians. I encourage residents to attend these meetings and share their perspectives as we work together to shape the future of this critical system.”
The meetings will be open to the public and livestreamed. Details about specific meeting times and venues will be provided before each event.
The study committee includes State Representatives Beth Camp (R-Concord), Lauren McDonald III (R-Cumming), Clint Crowe (R-Jackson), and Bruce Williamson (R-Monroe). The group was formed by House Resolution 429 to review Georgia’s current funding provisions for 9-1-1 services and recommend reforms needed for transitioning from legacy systems to Next Generation 9-1-1 centers.
Jon G. Burns is a Republican who was elected in 2005 to represent Georgia’s 159th House District, succeeding Ray Holland.
