State Reps. Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty) and Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) have been appointed to serve on interim study committees, which will convene throughout the summer and fall to examine policy issues and develop solutions.

Legislators will gather testimony from the public, experts, and stakeholders as they prepare bill recommendations for the budget session in January. Teshka will participate in the Interim Study Committee on Education and the Native American Indian Affairs Commission.

"Nearly half of the state budget goes toward K-12 education in our state and it's critical for us to ensure taxpayer dollars are helping to deliver the best educational outcomes for Hoosier students," Teshka said. "This interim, legislators will seek how we can improve school attendance and improve learning environments for student success."

Jordan has been appointed to the State and Local Tax Review Task Force.

"We're continuing to take a comprehensive look at Indiana's overall financial position," Jordan said. "This means reviewing the state's already low debt obligations, pension funds, and taxes to see how we can benefit Hoosiers the most and keep more money in their pocket."
