STATEHOUSE (June 28, 2021) – State Rep. Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie) recently received an appointment to serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Roads and Transportation.
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.
"Our infrastructure is critical to the success of our economy and can boost Hoosiers' quality of life," Pressel said. "This summer, I look forward to focusing on how we can continue maintaining and improving Indiana's roads and bridges not only in the Region, but also across the state."
Pressel will also serve on the Nonemergency Medical Transportation Commission and the Public Highway Private Enterprise Review Board.
According to Pressel, 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.
