Baird to serve on key House committees

State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle) recently received appointments to serve as a member of two key House committees.

Baird will serve as vice chair of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, and was reappointed to the House Ways and Means Committee.

"It's imperative we keep our state moving in the right direction by passing a budget that adequately funds essential government services while maintaining prudent reserves," Baird said. "We'll also be focused on finding ways to support local farmers and our booming agricultural industry, and continuing economic growth in communities of all sizes."

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.

House lawmakers are scheduled to convene at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 9 for the first day of the 2023 legislative session. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and session.
