Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston said on May 13 that the Indiana General Assembly’s Legislative Council has assigned topics for lawmakers to study during the 2026 legislative interim.
The study committees allow legislators to research and discuss issues affecting residents before the next legislative session. This year, topics include child safety, funding sources for childcare, a review of workforce programs, property tax assessments, and other subjects.
“During study committees, we can vet legislative ideas, hear from Hoosiers impacted by policies and prepare for the next session,” Huston said. “We’re continuing to focus on making government more efficient, lowering costs for Hoosiers and supporting working families.”
House and Senate leaders will assign members to each committee in the coming weeks. The interim committees will be chaired by the House this year and are scheduled to meet during the summer and fall months as preparation for the 2027 session of the General Assembly.
A resolution outlining all assigned topics is available online.
