Legislature Reaches Midpoint

2/7/2014

 
The midpoint in the Indiana legislative session is marked by the "death" of more than half of the 870 bills introduced this year.

The House finished their third reading calendar on Monday and the Senate followed on Tuesday, ending a day earlier than scheduled allowing the Senators to leave Indianapolis before the arrival of inclement weather.

Picture
Looking ahead, there will be 2 ½ weeks for committees to take action on bills from the other chamber. March 3 is the House deadline for third reading action, with the Senate deadline taking place on March 4. Listed below are bills of interest to INARF members on which there has been recent action:
