Interim committees meet throughout the summer and fall to explore and review policy issues and work together to identify solutions. Legislators will hear testimony from the public, experts and stakeholders as they work on bill recommendations ahead of the next legislative session which begins in January.
Bartels will serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, vice chair of the Government Reform Task Force and as a member of the Integrated Public Safety Commission, Interim Study Committee on Public Policy and State Council for Interstate Adult and Juvenile Offender Supervision.
"These committees play an important role in preparing for the next legislative session," Bartels said.
