Barrett was reappointed to serve as the chair of the House Public Health Committee, and will serve as a member of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee and the House Insurance Committee.

"Ensuring access to quality health care for all Hoosiers is our focus for all communities," Barrett said. "As chair of the Public Health Committee, I’m eager to lead discussions that improve lives across Indiana and am committed to providing policies that boost health outcomes."

House standing committee appointments are made by the Indiana House Speaker biennially after the November election and are in effect for the duration of members' two-year terms.

House lawmakers are scheduled to convene at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 for the first day of the 2025 legislative session. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and session.
