STATEHOUSE (July 17, 2025) State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) recently received appointments to serve on interim study committees, which will meet throughout the summer and fall to explore policy issues and work 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.

Borders will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Commerce and Economic Development and as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance.

"We've got a responsibility to keep Indiana's economy moving," Borders said. "Whether it's reducing red tape for businesses or strengthening our financial institutions, I'm looking forward to solutions that create real growth."

Heaton will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance.

"Indiana's economy depends on strong financial institutions and a stable insurance market," Heaton said. "These discussions will help us protect consumers, attract investment and keep Indiana competitive."
