State Representatives Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) and Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty) recently received appointments to serve on key House standing committees at the Statehouse.
House standing committee appointments are made by the Indiana House Speaker biennially after the November election and are in effect for the duration of members' two-year terms. Jordan was reappointed as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee's Budget Subcommittee. He will also serve on the House Family, Children and Human Affairs Committee and Government and Regulatory Reform Committee.
"In this legislative session, we'll work to keep Indiana fiscally responsible while helping Hoosiers save more of their paycheck," Jordan said. "I encourage constituents to make their voices heard by contacting my office with questions or comments and following sessions online or at the Statehouse."
Teshka was appointed chair of the House Financial Institutions Committee. He will also serve as a member of the House Education Committee and the House Employment, Labor and Pensions Committee.
"As the new chair of the House Financial Institutions Committee, I will use my previous experience as vice chair to listen and review commonsense legislation that benefits our communities," Teshka said. "It's a privilege to represent my community at the Statehouse, and I'm excited to get to work."
Teshka said committees are responsible for vetting bills, including hearing public testimony and considering amendments.
House lawmakers are scheduled to convene at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 8, the first day of the 2025 legislative session. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and sessions.
