STATEHOUSE (Dec. 15, 2020) – State Reps. Steve Davisson (R-Salem) and Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown) were recently appointed to several House standing committees.
Davisson was appointed to serve as vice chair of the House Public Health Committee, and will once again serve as a member of the House Commerce, Small Business and Economic Development Committee. He was also newly appointed to serve on the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee.
"The committee process allows legislators to use their knowledge about a particular subject matter to help fully vet a bill before it is considered by the full House of Representatives," Davisson said. "Whether it is addressing public health issues or the small-business owners' concerns, legislators can discuss proposals, and hear from the public and industry experts on what policies make sense for Indiana."
Engleman was reappointed to serve as a member of the House Government and Regulatory Reform Committee, the House Local Government Committee, the House Judiciary Committee and the House Statutory Committee on Ethics.
"Having previously served as county auditor, I know there are numerous opportunities to reduce red tape and improve our processes," Engleman said. "As we've seen by this pandemic, county and city governments need the flexibility to make quick decisions. By updating and modernizing our systems local officials will be able to do just that."
Engleman was also named assistant majority floor leader and will work closely with her fellow caucus members on legislative priorities.
House standing committees will meet throughout the legislative session, which is scheduled to kick off on Jan. 4.
