Without further ado, here are all the chairmanship changes made in the state Senate for the next two years.
We told you last month that state Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, would lose his Judiciary Committee chairmanship. The list below confirms that. Among other notable changes, state Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta -- a longtime transit advocate -- now leads the Senate Transportation Committee.
Worth noting that if you don't see a committee you're interested in here, that means there's been no change from last year.

- Sen. Brandon Beach (R – Alpharetta) will serve as chair of the Senate Transportation Committee.
