STATEHOUSE (June 23, 2016) — State Rep. Bill Friend (R-Macy) will be serving on the Interim Study Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources.
In preparation for the 2017 legislative session, which begins in January, interim study committee members meet to examine assigned topics, gather testimonies and identify potential legislation.
“The Interim Study Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources will take a look at how to best maintain and improve our state parks, trails and reservoirs,” Friend said. “These areas are a part of Hoosier history that need to be maintained for all generations to enjoy.”
Friend said interim study committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, can be viewed live online at iga.in.gov. This site also provides committee calendars and meeting agendas. Members of the public are also welcomed to attend.
Friend will also serve on the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary and Interim Study Committee on Environmental Affairs.
