RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending the Honorable Bob Lane on the occasion of his retirement from the
Georgia House of Representatives; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Representative Bob Lane has long been recognized by the citizens of this state
for the vital role that he has played in leadership and his deep personal
commitment to the welfare of the citizens of Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
Representative Lane has diligently and conscientiously devoted his time,
talents, and energy representing the citizens of District 158 as a member of the
Georgia House of Representatives since 1980; and
WHEREAS,
his leadership has been invaluable as Chairman of the House Committee on Game,
Fish, and Parks, and he has authored legislation to facilitate the passage of
sound conservation laws and policies that protect this state's natural resources
and have a positive impact on all Georgians; and
WHEREAS,
Representative Lane has served the people of District 158 for 30 years,
following in his father's footsteps, Jones Lane, who served for 20 years in the
Georgia House of Representatives; and
WHEREAS,
he has helped craft legislation that makes it a right to hunt and fish, not just
a privilege, has served as a strong defender of the right to bear arms, and
authored legislation to create an automated licensing system and reduce owner
liability when performing prescribed burns on their land; and
WHEREAS,
a staunch supporter of Georgia Southern University, Representative Lane
supported legislation that changed the school from a college to a university,
was a key member of the delegation that advocated for increased funding for the
institution, and led efforts to appropriate over $250 million for university
construction projects during his tenure; and
WHEREAS,
Representative Lane looks forward to spending his retirement enjoying the
company of his family, especially his two grandchildren, Jones and Elizabeth;
and
WHEREAS,
although Representative Lane's presence on the House floor will be sorely missed
by his colleagues upon his retirement, the influence he has had upon the people
of Georgia will be ever present.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend their esteemed colleague, the Honorable Bob Lane, on his
selfless, efficient, and effective service to the State of Georgia and extend to
him sincere best wishes for a happy and healthy retirement.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the Honorable
Bob Lane.
