House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Kings Mountain) recently appointed three North Carolina state Republican legislators to serve on a bipartisan committee to tackle COVID-19.
Moore named Reps. Harry Warren (R-Salisbury), Julia Howard (R-Mocksville) and Wayne Sasser (R-Albemarle) to the bipartisan North Carolina House Select Committee on COVID-19, according to a March 23 report from the Salisbury Post.
Working groups will regularly meet remotely about responses to the short-term and long-term legislative changes to address the coronavirus.
The House Select Committee on COVID-19 working groups are health care, continuity of state operations, economic support and education.
Howard will lead the economic working group — Warren was also appointed to this assembly. Sasser will serve in the health care group.
“I appreciate the speaker’s confidence in appointing me to the House Select Committee on COVID-19,” Warren said, the Salisbury Post reported on March 23. “I am especially excited to be serving on the Economic Support Group sub-committee.”
The House Select Committee will address all of the economic impacts that come with the COVID-19 pandemic, displaced workers or those without work, health care issues caused by the coronavirus, and more. There is a long list of reforms that will help those with an uncertain financial future and the committee will begin meeting on those as early as March 30.
The committee has 75 members including the House speaker.
