Most Os State Legislators In Session Today INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Most of the 150 members of the 1981 Indiana Legislature n*«t today for a three-day prwiew <nd orientation program, an experiment aimed at smoothing the way for them to start the 61-day biennial session Jars. 5. The program was sponsored by the Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission, which took cognizance of the fact the lawmakers, particularly freshmen, are faced with a gigantic task when they arrive “cold” for the session and have to absorb background on procedure and content of more than 11,000 bills in order to vote intelligently on future state laws. By meeting in advance, legislative experts hoped to give the lawmakers a backgrounding and a preview of the most important work ahead in the session which .extends to March 6. I Among the speakers at the [opening session this morning were Governor Handley. Lt. Gov. I Crawford F. Parker, and 1959 House speaker Birch E. Bayh Jr. Bayh told the lawmakers their job was "a Herculean task." He said, present legislative procedures are' "too cumbersome and inefficient for us to do as well as we should and as well as we must.” “I am convinced that we must streamline and modernize our legislative ffrocedure if we are to accomplish the impossible in the 61 days allotted to us by the Constitution,” Bayh said. Bayh outlined an 8-point program to put the streamlining into effect. He suggested the State Legislative Bureau be expanded to include research and audit facilities, that pre-legislative" conferences like the present one be continued and improved, that the House Ways and Means Committee be appointed early in December and start hearings on the budget by mid-December, that bills be introduced before the session actually starts and the period of introduction be reduced from 30 to 20 days. Bayh also recommended establishment of a “consent calendar” for bills appearing to have unanimous support on which no debate would be permitted, that more detail digests of bills be prepared to better inform members, and that a steering committee help the [House speaker in scheduling bills Jon the calendar. The proposed 1961-63 biennium budget will get an airing Wednesday when state budget director Philip L. -Conklin outlined the prospects of state spending for the two years beginning next July 1. The new budget is expected to be higher than the current $1,062,000,000 budget.
