Summary

Representative Bonner presented House Bill 224 to the House Transportation Committee, describing the measure as authorizing the state to enter into a regional intergovernmental support agreement (RIGSA) with the U.S. Department of Defense for the Georgia Department of Transportation to perform work on military installations.
Bonner said the bill grew out of a request from the military. He explained that initial efforts to use a direct agreement with GDOT showed that legislation would be required. The transcript records that Colonel Mark Austin, the Garrison commander for Fort Stewart, joined via Zoom to provide additional insight; Bonner introduced him to the committee.
No committee action was recorded in the transcript on HB 224; the presentation appears to have been informational. Committee members did not record a vote on the measure during the hearing segment in the transcript.
