Representative Mike Carter (R-Ooltewah) has been named to the powerful House Finance, Ways and Means Committee, as well as the Civil Justice Committee and Subcommittee for the 108th Tennessee General Assembly.
“The Finance, Ways and Means Committee plays an important role in keeping Tennessee a business-friendly state and I am honored that Speaker Harwell has named me to this committee,” stated Representative Carter. “I look forward to working with my colleagues during the upcoming legislative session to make Tennessee an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.”
Much of the activity of the House Finance, Ways and Means Committee centers around the preparation of the general appropriations bill, but any measure which has a fiscal impact of $100,000 or more under the rules of the House is referred to this committee from other standing committees.
“I also look forward to tackling the important issue of public safety the Civil Justice Committees will handle this year and am thankful to have been entrusted with this opportunity to serve,” concluded Carter.
The Civil Justice Committee considers all legislation affecting civil law. This can include, but is not limited to, civil procedure, private and governmental civil liability laws, wills, courts and property rights.
Mike Carter is serving his first term in the Tennessee legislature. He represents District 29, which includes part of Hamilton County.
