ATLANTA |Today, Lt. Governor Burt Jones announced the first meeting of the Georgia Senate Special Committee on the Protection of Women's Sports.

"Last week, I created the Senate Special Committee on the Protection of Women's Sports, and I am happy to announce that the first meeting will be held on August 27th," said Lt. Governor Burt Jones. "I want to thank Chairman Greg Dolezal for prioritizing this committee and setting a hearing this month. As the ongoing Olympic games demonstrate, women athletes make outstanding contributions to the sports landscape around the world, and they must be given a fair opportunity to compete and shine. As a state, we must do all we can to see that women's sports and their rights are not threatened. I look forward to this committee's first hearing and reviewing its findings."
