he 2020 Legislative Session convenes in January as Legislators from across Indiana kick off a new Legislative Session. In even numbered years, they work through what is commonly called a “short Session,” because they do not have to do the time consuming work of crafting a budget (a 2-year state budget was passed in 2019). TThey will consider hundreds of other topics, though, and will likely tinker a bit with smaller budgetary items, all before they adjourn no later than midnight on Saturday, March 14th. As always, your Southwest Indiana Chamber will be actively working inside the Statehouse and with our area legislators and other leaders to advocate for legislative initiatives that impact our member-businesses and the region.
