The State House of Representatives returns to session today for its first formal action since passing the budget in June.
After a summer of committee meetings both in Harrisburg and across the commonwealth, the schedule today begins with a meeting of the Transportation Committee at eleven o’clock this morning, and the House meets in full session at one o’clock.
Representative Jim Struzzi told Indiana In the Morning recently that he is ready to go.
The Republican Caucus says the House has already passed more than 240 bills this year and with the Senate has sent ninety bills to the governor’s desk, seventy-seven of which are now state law. It says that’s the most successful start to a session in the last thirty years.
Some of the bills up for discussion today include measures to address long-term trespassing by squatters, amend the Private Licensed School Act to extend branches to counties other than the primary licensed school, create an energy and fertilizer manufacturing tax credit, and require the posting of agendas by state agencies prior to public meetings where official business is conducted.
The Senate returns to Harrisburg next week.
