STATEHOUSE (July 17, 2024) – Madison County legislators recently received appointments to serve on interim study committees, which will meet throughout the summer and fall to explore policy issues and work together to identify solutions.
Legislators will hear testimony from the public, various experts and stakeholders as they work on bill recommendations ahead of the budget session in January.
State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers) will serve as chair of the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary. He will also serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code, the Probate Code Study Committee, the Bail and Release Review Commission, and the Indiana Uniform Law Commission.
"These discussions throughout the interim provide lawmakers opportunities to review a variety of proposed policies aimed at improving our court system," said Jeter, an attorney. "This summer and fall, our committee will review Indiana's homeowner association system and explore ways to improve permanency outcomes for children in foster care."
State Rep. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield) will serve as the vice chair of the State Fair Advisory Committee. He will also serve as a member of the Budget Committee, Indiana White River State Park Development Commission and the Interim Study Committee on Fiscal Policy.
"These committees help lawmakers make more informed decisions before the next legislative session," Cherry said. “Major issues facing Hoosiers require continued research and discussions, I'm looking forward to the work we will do with this year's study topics."
State Rep. Kyle Pierce (R-Anderson) will serve as a member of the Code Revision Committee and the Government Reform Task Force.
State Rep. Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown) will serve as a member of the Indiana Protection and Advocacy Services Commission, the Doula Reimbursement Advisory Board and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission.
