| Lawmakers to Study Important Issues Facing Hoosiers | |||||
| Lawmakers are kicking off summer study committees to work on policy, examine top issues, gather testimony and recommend legislation ahead of the official start of session in January.
I will serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code, which will delve into key topics like human trafficking, jail overcrowding, sentencing, incarceration and treatment. |

I was also appointed to the Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council, which is charged with conducting state-level reviews of corrections departments, county jails and probation services. We will examine treatment and mental health services available for those in the criminal justice system. Additionally, I will also serve on the board of trustees for the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, which is the state’s planning agency responsible for coordinating with local, state and federal entities to analyze emerging trends in criminal justice, law enforcement and public safety. Members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify at committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Hearings are also livestreamed and archived online, where committee calendars and meeting agendas are posted. |
