A typical day for a legislator during session consists of meetings with constituents, session and committee hearings. Each legislator is assigned to a committee, or multiple committees, to study proposed legislation. During the committee meetings, they hear public testimony from citizens, experts and members of government agen- cies. Session can be very time-consuming. There Legislators cast their votes during are days when legislators are in session for more session in the House Chamber. than 12 hours, listening to debates on bills and casting their votes. Many school groups come to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to learn about Indiana history, and representatives often meet with students to help them learn about the General Assembly. Also, just because session doesn’t last 365 days a year, doesn’t mean they stop working for you. As a matter-of-fact, when legislators are back home, they spend a lot of time attending meetings and community events. In order to best represent their communities, it is important that legislators meet with constituents constantly to learn what is most important to them.
