STATEHOUSE (July 9, 2024) – State Reps. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) and Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville) 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. Ledbetter will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Public Health, Behavioral Health and Human Services. She will also serve on the Indiana Behavioral Health Commission and the Indiana Commission to Combat Drug Abuse.
"These working groups are important as they allow legislators to review policy and receive input from various experts and the public throughout the interim," Ledbetter said. "As someone who works in the health care field, I look forward to finding ways we can help to improve the well-being of Hoosiers."
O'Brien will serve as a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Commission.
