Lawmakers will return to the Statehouse this month for a one-day session to consider legislation that would allow Indiana's current public health state of emergency to expire.
Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville) and House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) announced the plans Saturday to reconvene the legislative session on Nov. 29.
They said they expect members of both chambers to return to vote on legislation to address federal reimbursements for SNAP and Medicaid, voluntary community vaccination clinics, and COVID-19 vaccine exemptions under Indiana law.
In a statement released with the announcement, Bray said the issues were identified in cooperation with Gov. Eric Holcomb.
The Senate Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure and the House Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedures will meet Nov. 23 at 10:30 a.m. in the House Chamber to hear testimony from the public on the legislation.
The legislature doesn’t normally begin its work until January.
