INDIANAPOLIS — Earlier today, the Indiana General Assembly convened at the Statehouse for the ceremonial start of the 2016 legislative session. “Organization Day,” as it is commonly called, provides legislators an opportunity to meet with fellow lawmakers and staff and to begin discussing legislative topics.

The 2016 session will reconvene in January and, by law, must end no later than March 14. Lawmakers will work together to address several key issues, including:

• Supporting Indiana students, teachers and schools
• Funding infrastructure and road needs
• Keeping our economy on track through pro-growth fiscal policies
