STATEHOUSE (Dec. 16, 2024) – State Reps. David Abbott (R-Rome City) and Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne) recently received appointments to serve on key House standing committees at the Statehouse.
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. Abbott was appointed as vice chair of the House Government and Regulatory Reform Committee, and will serve as a member of the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Employment, Labor and Pensions Committee.
"Government operations should prioritize serving the public and promoting transparency," Abbott said. "As vice chair, I will continue working to eliminate regulatory obstacles and advocate for Hoosiers."
Judy will serve as a member of the House Financial Institutions Committee, House Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee. Judy said committees are responsible for vetting bills, including hearing public testimony and considering amendments.
"One of our top priorities for the 2025 legislative session is passing a fiscally responsible budget," Judy said. "Our state has a long history of managing finances wisely, and I am confident that we will continue to do so."
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.
