STATEHOUSE (July 22, 2021) – State Rep. Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) was recently appointed to serve on the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Elections and Apportionment Committee.
“Whether it’s managing our state’s spending or maintaining the integrity of our elections, these committees will tackle issues most important to Hoosiers,” O’Brien said. “This is a tremendous opportunity and I look forward to diving into these issues during the next session.”
House standing committees meet throughout the legislative session, which convenes each year in January. O’Brien said committees hear testimony and further vet potential new laws before the full House of Representatives considers the bill. Committee hearings typically occur at the Statehouse In Indianapolis, and Hoosiers can access committee hearings, calendars and agendas online at iga.in.gov.
Standing committee appointments are typically made biennially after each election, however O’Brien was selected by a caucus in March to serve out the remaining term of former State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville).
