Sen. Spartz issues request for special session

Indiana State Senator Victoria Spartz (R-Noblesville) has issued a request for a special session of the General Assembly:

Spartz

“I signed a letter to the Governor asking to call a Special Session of the Indiana General Assembly if the provisions of Executive Order 20-22 should be extended beyond May 1, 2020.

“As Indiana enters its seventh week living under Executive Orders issued pursuant to I.C. 10-14-3 without the participation of the Legislative branch of government, I have some concerns.

“Given the length of time they have now been in effect, I believe that the Indiana Constitution and public interest require the Legislature to resume its Constitutional role in the process. Indiana must now find the right balance between public health and economic health. The voice of Hoosiers in finding this balance is appropriately heard through their local legislators.”
