STATEHOUSE (June 25, 2021) – State Rep. Julie Olthoff (R-Crown Point) recently received an appointment to serve as member of the Interim Study Committee on Child Services.
Throughout the summer and fall, Indiana state legislators serve on interim study committees where they work on policy, examine top issues, gather testimony and recommend legislation ahead of the legislative session kicking off in January.
"This session, I supported legislation establishing the Interim Study Committee on Child Services to look at how Indiana can better protect our most vulnerable," Olthoff said. "The committee will review state and local child fatality reports, and other issues related to child safety and service programs like foster care to find any areas that could be improved."
According to Olthoff, members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify at committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Hearings are also livestreamed and archived online at iga.in.gov, where committee calendars and meeting agendas are posted.
