0

 STATEHOUSE (June 23, 2016) — State Sen. Vaneta Becker (R-Evansville) will serve on the Interim Study Committee on Roads and Transportation during the summer and fall months to help prepare for the 2017 session of the General Assembly. She will also serve on the following study commissions and council:

  • Commission on Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises
  • Indiana Commission for Women
  • Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities Interagency Coordinating Council

“When the Indiana General Assembly is not in session, legislators have an opportunity to examine state issues in depth,” Becker said. “In the coming months, we will hear testimony from experts and citizens as we discuss ways to keep our roadways safe and ensure the Bureau of Motor Vehicles is best serving Hoosiers.”

When Indiana’s part-time legislature is not in session, lawmakers serve on interim study committees that meet to review the state’s top issues, as identified by the General Assembly during the prior legislative session.

Study committee topics are assigned by the bipartisan Legislative Council, comprised of 16 voting members — eight from the Senate and eight from the House of Representatives.
