“This summer we will begin to closely examine some different issues facing Hoosiers by exploring financial options for the delivery of health care and agricultural produce,” said Rep. Davisson. “I look forward to the opportunity to serve Indiana by tackling these topics head on during a time where we can dig deeper into the roots of these issues.” 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 will 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 2012, legislators will be continuing their 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 2013 session. “While our next legislative session remains several months away, the interim provides us time to start creating solutions to many of the problems that face our state,” said Rep. Davisson. “These summer study committees will help us build a better Indiana.” -30- Rep. Davisson represents parts of Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Harrison, Jackson, Perry, Scott and Washington Counties. |
