STATEHOUSE — State Representative Suzanne Crouch (R-Evansville) has been appointed to serve on the Council on Evansville State Hospitals, the Health Finance Commission and the Regional Campuses Study Committee. “It is an honor to be appointed to serve on these study committees,” said Rep. Crouch. “This summer, our committees will study crucial issues that impact Hoosiers right here in the Evansville area and across the state.” Every year after the legislative session is completed, the Legislative Council meets to assign topics for study during the interim as well as establish any new interim committee that is needed to examine a particular issue. Most interim committees begin meeting in July with their work wrapping up toward the end of October. Interim committees are an integral part of the legislative process. Even though session is adjourned for 2013, representatives continue their legislative duties by conducting in-depth studies of various topics assigned to their committees. Interim committees with specific expertise receive public testimony and work out the details of proposed legislation before it is introduced in the 2014 session. “Summer study committees provide beneficial information to the General Assembly,” said Rep. Crouch. “Their feedback helps shape activity in the upcoming legislative session.” To see a complete list of the assigned committees, member appointments and what the committees are charged with studying, please visit: www.in.gov/house_republicans. -30- Rep.
