The Georgia Public Service Commission (Commission) today unanimously re-elected Commissioner Chuck Eaton for another two-year term as chairman of the Commission.

Senate Bill 483, passed in March 2012, gave the Commissioners the right to select their own leadership. The law extended the term of this office from one to two years for greater continuity and stability and added the opportunity to re-elect that person for one additional two-year term. Today, Commissioner Tim Echols nominated Commissioner Eaton to serve a second term as chairman. Commissioner Eaton has served as chairman during 2013 and 2014.

Commissioner Eaton, who was re-elected to another six-year term on the Commission in November 2012, said that he was honored and humbled to be selected by his colleagues for this position.
