A member of the Georgia state House was removed from the chamber Tuesday for not abiding by the Legislature’s COVID-19 testing policy.

Rep. David Clark, a Republican from Buford, was asked to leave the chamber floor by House Speaker David Ralston. Clark refused to leave on his own and had to be escorted out by police.
