Representative Davis will serve on the Transportation Matters Interim Study Committee. The committee will study issues pertaining to vehicle crashes involving commercial vehicles. The committee is also studying the feasibility benefits of inland ports in Indiana. "It is a privilege to serve on these two summer study committees," said Rep. Davis. "Studying issues in the summer allows me to gain a greater understanding of the issues the General Assembly will face next session. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with my fellow Representatives, being in the transportation industry for 30 years I have experience that will be beneficial so that we can do what is best for Hoosiers," stated Rep. Davis. The Indiana General Assembly is a part-time legislature and meets on a two-year cycle, four months one year and three months the following year. Important statewide issues can be dealt with efficiently year-round through the use of the Interim Study Committees and Statutory Commissions. These two types of study groups convene regularly through the remainder of the year and discuss key issues which could lead to possible legislation in the upcoming session.
