Organization Day includes the swearing in of new and returning members of the General Assembly, including Crider, who take the formal oath of office to begin a new term.
State Sen. Michael Crider (R-Greenfield) gathered with fellow legislators at the Statehouse for Organization Day – the ceremonial start of the 124th Indiana General Assembly.
Organization Day includes the swearing in of new and returning members of the General Assembly, including Crider, who take the formal oath of office to begin a new term. This day also marks the annual first roll call of all state lawmakers and gives each Senate and House of Representatives caucus the opportunity to organize in preparation for the 2025 legislative session. By state law, the 2025 session will conclude on or before April 29.
During the first session of each General Assembly, lawmakers craft a comprehensive budget to fund government services for the next two fiscal years.
"As we head into a budget session, I will be working to prioritize funding and infrastructure for our state’s mental health care system," Crider said. "There are many important topics for legislators to look at this year, and I am excited to begin the work to make Indiana better for all Hoosiers that call it home."
