Chairman Hembree�s opinion of this legislation:

THIS LEGISLATION:

• Strengthens the Traditional Family Structure

By allowing families to stay closer to home and attend children�s college matches in GA as well as providing financial savings to families because they don�t have to pay out of state tuition.

• Increases Personal Responsibility:

Wrestling as a sport builds character and personal responsibility because you have to rely on your own abilities
