STATEHOUSE (July 24, 2023) – Area legislators recently received interim study committee appointments and will take a deep dive into issues facing Hoosiers as they prepare for the next legislative session in January.
Lawmakers serve on interim committees throughout the summer and fall to examine policy topics, gather public input and recommend potential legislation.
State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunication and as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Codes.
"I look forward to hearing about a wide range of issues, including an update on our broadband expansion efforts," Negele said. "Many of our rural communities still struggle with access to high-speed and affordable internet, and it's critical we do more to close the gap."
State Rep. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron) will serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify at committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Hearings are also livestreamed and archived online at iga.in.gov, where committee calendars and meeting agendas are posted.
