STATEHOUSE (May 24, 2022) – House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) today released a list of study committee topics, which state lawmakers will review during the summer and fall months.
Huston, chair of the Legislative Council, convened the group's annual meeting to assign legislative study topics on Tuesday at the Statehouse. The council is comprised of eight members of the Indiana Senate and eight members of the Indiana House of Representatives, and the chamber leaders alternate as chair each year.
“House and Senate lawmakers will do deep dives into a wide range of issues, which could come before the legislature in the 2023 session," Huston said. "These committees are a critical part of the legislative process as they give us an opportunity to fully vet complex topics and identify potential solutions.”
Huston said study committees will meet during the interim months to review hot-button topics and potentially make recommendations for the 2023 General Assembly to consider for new laws. House and Senate leaders will assign members to each study committee in the coming weeks.

Council members also reviewed Preliminary Draft 4539, the General Assembly's technical corrections bill. The bill will be considered by the Senate at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday and, if passed, the legislation will move to the House as part of the legislature's technical session day. Huston said the bill corrects various technical errors included in laws passed during the 2022 legislative session.
