Last action February 21, 2025 · House Read and Adopted
A House resolution honors Seth Millican for his years as executive director of the Georgia Transportation Alliance and his work shaping state transportation policy.
In plain language
This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law; instead it formally recognizes Seth Millican, who served as Executive Director of the Georgia Transportation Alliance (GTA) from April 2013 to November 2024. The resolution credits Millican with helping pass HB 170, the Transportation Funding Act of 2015, which created dedicated recurring revenue for road and bridge maintenance and set up regional and single-county transportation SPLOST (a special local sales tax for transportation projects) options. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for Millican as a keepsake.
