WHEREAS, the panel received outstanding community support for the state's seat belt initiative, conducted a thorough review of case files and submitted reports of their findings to the Georgia Child Fatality Review Panel, assisted with procuring funding for the Child Abuse Prevention Committee to print a mandated reporting guide, and organized presentations from the Department of Human Resources covering seat belt usage and child safety seats; and

WHEREAS, this panel went above and beyond the call of duty by meeting every month, including local officials not on the committee who were responsible for working with targeted families, and submitting thorough and accurate reports in a timely manner; and
