STATEHOUSE (July 9, 2024) – State Reps. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) and Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron) 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. Negele will serve as a member of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code, the Interim Study Committee on Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications, the Legislative Council and the Legislative Council's Audit and Financial Reporting Subcommittee.
"From reviewing updates on state utilities to investigating trends in criminal behavior, sentencing, incarceration and treatment, this year's study committees are taking a closer look at tough issues," Negele said. "I am excited to collaborate with the state's experts and fellow legislators on the topics that concern Hoosiers most."
Aylesworth will serve as chair of the Interim Study Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, and on the Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Compact Commission.
