LEGISLATORS MEET FOR ORGANIZATION DAY – Straight From The Senate

Indiana lawmakers recently convened at the Statehouse for Organization Day — the ceremonial start of the legislative session.

Once the General Assembly officially reconvenes January 3, legislators will delve deeper into topics, authoring and passing bills that will make Indiana a better place to live, work and raise a family.

On Organization Day, lawmakers kicked off the 2018 legislative session by discussing issues facing our communities and state, and preparing for the work ahead.

Among other items, I expect lawmakers to tackle issues like continuing to fight the opioid epidemic, supporting job growth, preparing Hoosiers for success by enhancing our education system for students and adults, updating Indiana’s alcohol laws, and keeping our budget balanced.
