LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Members serve on the IEDA Legislative Committee to advance the collective interests of IEDA members and the interest of economic development generally in Indiana before the Indiana General Assembly.
• Members of the IEDA Legislative Committee are expected to provide counsel to IEDA’s lobbying advocates on behalf of the entire IEDA membership rather than any individual agenda benefiting a specific locale or project.
• Because of the complexity of issues being considered by the Indiana General Assembly on which the Legislative Committee must act, committee members are compelled to read and consider information provided to them by IEDA advocates in a timely manner.
• During the months the General Assembly is in session, committee meetings are typically conducted on Friday afternoons, either in person or via conference call. Committee members are expected to participate in at least 80% of these sessions.
