STATEHOUSE (Dec. 16, 2024) – State Reps. Ethan Manning (R-Logansport) and Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo) recently received appointments to serve on key House standing committees at the Statehouse.
House standing committee appointments are made by the Indiana House Speaker biennially after the November election and are in effect for the duration of members' two-year terms. Manning was reappointed as chair of the House Public Policy Committee, and will serve as a member of the House Rules and Legislative Procedures Committee.
"This session, we'll work to find common ground on some of important public policy issues affecting our state and Hoosiers," Manning said. "I'm currently drafting legislation and ready to get to work on behalf of our communities."
VanNatter was reappointed as chair of the House Employment, Labor and Pensions Committee. He will also serve as a member of the House Commerce, Small Business and Economic Development Committee, and the House Public Policy Committee.
"Making Indiana a destination for employers, both new and existing, and supporting Hoosier workers are top priorities," VanNatter said. "Indiana's economy is running strong, and I’m looking forward to helping us continue that momentum."
Committees are responsible for vetting bills, including hearing public testimony and considering amendments.
House lawmakers are scheduled to convene at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 for the first day of the 2025 legislative session. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and session.
