District 37 State Sen. Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville) will serve as vice chairman of the Interim Study Committee on Government during the summer and fall months to help prepare for the 2017 session of the General Assembly.

Bray will also serve on the following study committees and council:

-- Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code

-- Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary

-- Board of Trustees of the Criminal Justice Institute

-- Military Base Planning Council

"Some topics the Interim Study Committee on Government will discuss are expanding the availability of open records in Indiana and the effects of recent changes to annexation laws," Bray said. "Being able to hear from various stakeholders will help lawmakers craft legislation in the future."

When Indiana's part-time legislature is not in session, lawmakers serve on interim study committees that meet to review the state's top issues, as identified by the General Assembly during the prior legislative session.

Study committee topics are assigned by the bipartisan Legislative Council, comprised of 16 voting members -- eight from the Senate and eight from the House of Representatives.
