Studying Indiana’s Top Issues – Straight from the Senate

When Indiana’s part-time legislature is not in session, lawmakers serve on interim study committees that meet to review key issues facing our state. These committees lay the groundwork for future legislation and are a critical component of Indiana’s lawmaking process.

The Legislative Council, a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, establishes study committee priorities each year. As vice-chair of the council, my goal is to make sure our state’s most pressing challenges are given the time and energy needed to find effective solutions.

This summer and fall, study committees will consider several important topics, including tax reform, education, veterans’ issues and more. These committees will gather expert testimony, hear from members of the public and provide recommendations to the full General Assembly before the 2015 legislative session begins in January.
