Rep. Dave Frizzell (R-Indianapolis) has been assigned to two interim study committees: the Health Finance Commission and the Regulatory Flexibility Committee. "Anything we can do to jumpstart the legislative process when the entire House and Senate reconvene in January is a good move on behalf of Hoosiers," said Rep. Frizzell. "We are here to serve our constituents by passing productive legislation, and doing our homework ahead of time will help us to be as efficient as possible during session." 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 legislative bodies convene regularly through the remainder of the year and study key issues which could lead to possible legislation in the upcoming session.
