Legislative 2022

The Second Half / or as

                                         Paul Harvey would say                                                                  (for those of you old enough to remember                           him) and now the Rest of the Story

Indiana General Assembly

February 4, 2022

Following the first half and a much needed short mid-term break the session is off and running once again. Both the Senate and the House will go in session Monday Feb. 7th to continue the rest of the story.

During the first half we put some 30 bills on our daily watch list, meaning these were the bills that including language that would have an impact on our service, our delivery, or the outcome to our customers, our citizens.

We carefully monitored all committee hearings where any of these bills were being heard and even testified for or against some of them.

By the beginning of the second half we were able to reduce our watch list from 30 to 14 Bills remaining on our watch. From the list of the 30 we were watching 16 of the original bills either did not get a committee hearing, did not get a favorable majority yes vote, did not get a third reading hearing or was defeated in the House or Senate session.

So what's left; as stated we are watching 14 bills all of which can be found on our website under the Weekly Bill Watch or if you attend your District Meetings (and we encourage you to do so) often legislation will be discussed there as well.

We should be wrapping up the 122nd Session of the Indiana General Assembly by mid to late March.

To view and monitor the progress of the IVFA watched bills visit our “bill watch” list by going to the WEEKLY BILL WATCH as it will show the weekly status of the bills left.

Check back often for updates as bills change from day to day as they are read on the chamber floors (both House and Senate), or as they are working their way through committee hearings.

We may again be calling on you during the second half to reach out to your House and or Senate Member should we need your voice to either support or oppose. This process truly makes a difference in the outcome of legislation on behalf of the IVFA, our membership and those we serve.

Your comments and input are always welcome. You can email, text, call Larry Curl (contact information below.)

Visit this site and this page often as things change daily throughout each session as the bills in which the IVFA is working and monitoring are being heard, altered, and voted on.

Please don’t forget fill out the I Am Responding contact information sheets if you have not already done so and email them to the IVFA as we are still building out our database and will use it during the second half of the session as a means of reaching out to you with updates, information, and requests for your assistance.
