P. K. Martin, State Senator from the 9th District, spoke to his home Rotary group at their noon meeting on May 4.  He opened by presenting Marshall Boutwell with a Senate Resolution recognizing Marshall’s multiple contributions to the credit union movement in Georgia and congratulating him on receiving the Moses C. Davis Lifetime Achievement Award.   Senator Martin then talked to the group about his experience as a freshman senator, describing the learning process and his first impressions.  He has been stuck by  the helpfulness of his fellow Senators and their commitment to doing the right thing.  He went over a list of important legislation passed this session, including SB1 improving insurance coverage for children with autism, HB1 approving cannabis oil for medical purposes, bills breaking down bureaucratic barriers for high school students, HB 502 ensuring our students are taught founding principles, and HB170 providing for transportation funding.  He discussed SB 108, his bill requiring additional risk management for large insurers, and the five House bills he sponsored.  He has been selected to participate in a national leadership program as one of 27 new legislators who show leadership potential in the Republican Party.
