STATEHOUSE (July 16, 2024) – State Reps. Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne) and David Abbott (R-Rome City) recently received appointments to serve on interim study committees, which will meet throughout the summer and fall to explore policy issues and work together to identify solutions.

Legislators will hear testimony from the public, various experts and stakeholders as they work on bill recommendations ahead of the budget session in January.

Judy will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Pension Management Oversight, and the Interim Study Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs. He will also serve on the Indiana Homeland Security Foundation.

"State legislators work year-round to find solutions to problems that are affecting Hoosiers," Judy said. "Interim study committees allow for collaboration and discussion, which can bring forward new ideas for legislation moving into the coming session."


Abbott will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Employment and Labor, and the Board of Trustees of the State Museum and Historic Sites Corp.
