Leonard Appointed to House Committees
By Emily Landis-Owens on Saturday, November 27th, 2010 |
House Republican Speaker Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis) has announced committee members for the Indiana House Republican caucus.
In 2011, Rep. Dan Leonard (R-Huntington) will serve on the following House committees:
· Ways and Means Committee
· Judiciary Committee
“These committee appointments are truly an honor,” said Rep. Leonard. “In particular, serving on Ways and Means because—in this economy—the work this committee will have to undertake is daunting, but critical to our state.
“I am honored that the Speaker believes I am up to the challenge. I am looking forward to the work, especially if it helps bring jobs to Indiana.”
Committee chairmen and caucus leaders are selected biennially by the majority party after each election year.
Standing committees are an integral part of the legislative process. Committees with specific expertise receive public testimony and work out the details of proposed legislation before it is heard on the House floor.
Rep. Leonard represents House District 50, which is comprised of all of Huntington and part of Whitley County.
