Hoosier senators begin second half of 2011 General Assembly this week
From reports
Indiana senators started the second half of the 2011 Indiana General Assembly on schedule this week and proceeded with a growing calendar of key committee hearings for the days and weeks ahead.
Last week, senators met and beat legislative deadlines. During the first half of session, senators introduced 600 pieces of legislation, heard 213 proposals in committee, debated and passed 198 bills on the Senate floor - approving all but six with bipartisan majorities.
Senators are now prepared to tackle the state's two-year budget and proposals to foster private-sector job growth and improve public K-12 education.
