STATEHOUSE (Dec. 20, 2022) – State Reps. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw) and Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) 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. Snow will serve as vice chair of the House Insurance Committee, and as a member of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, and the House Ways and Means Committee. He said committees will begin meetings at the start of the 2023 legislative session.
"Committees play an important role in the legislative process as they are responsible for vetting bills, gathering input from the public and stakeholders, and considering amendments," Snow said. "I look forward to diving into issues and finding solutions to help lower health costs, and support our local farm families, Hoosier workers and small businesses."
Sweet, elected to her first term in November, will serve as a member of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, the House Courts and Criminal Code Committee, and the House Local Government Committee, which will begin their work with the start of the 2023 legislative session.
"This session, I look forward to diving into a number of issues as part of my committee work, especially those impacting our rural communities and local farmers," Sweet said. "I'll also keep my commitment to supporting public safety and our law enforcement, and not growing the size of government. It’s a great opportunity to share the voices of our district on these committees and I can't wait to get to work."
House lawmakers are scheduled to convene for session at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 9. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and session.
