Local lawmakers will return to the Statehouse Tuesday for Organization Day, a one-day event prior to the start of the January 2013 legislative session.
State Representative Randy Frye (R-Greensburg) indicated that no legislation will take place Tuesday.
“It is mostly ceremonial, but it is an important part of getting started,” said Representative Frye. “Organization Day is a time when any changes in committee assignments will be made, and {The Speaker of the House Brian Bosma] will give a speech where he will outline his plans for the upcoming legislative session.”
Frye will be among 100 representatives and 50 senators for the 2014 legislative session.
“I have several bills drafted for the 2014 legislation,” Representative Frye explained.
Soil productivity factors are a rating system used to compare the productive potential of one soil type to the other for property tax purposes. Frye hopes to pass legislation in 2014 that requires legislative approval prior to soil productivity factor changing.
“That way, those elected to represent the people, are responsible for any increase or decrease in their taxes,” Frye said.
The 1973 Batesville High School graduate will continue listening to citizens in his district.
“They can count on me on paying close attention and reaching out to the citizens of House District 67.”
The 2014 legislative session could potentially cover the proposal to alter Indiana’s gay marriage ban and reconsideration of state educational standards.
House District 67 represents residents of Dearborn, Decatur, Ripley, Jennings, Jefferson and Switzerland counties.
