Political Notes

Free law summaries available A set of booklets providing summaries of laws enacted by the 1997 Indiana General Assembly is available free of charge to the public, state Rep. Mae Dickinson (D-Indianapolis) said. The Democratic staff of the Indiana House of Representatives has prepared summaries of laws enacted in 14 different subject matters, Dickinson said. Hoosiers can receive any copies of the summaries in any subjects they chose by contacting her office. “With literally thousands of bills being considered and hundreds of ideas actually making it into law, it can be extremely difficult for the average person to keep track of what state government has

accomplished,” Dickinson said. “These summaries make that task much easier by providing brief descriptions of news laws effecting topics such as business or public safety.” The summaries address the following subjects: agriculture, banking, business, education, environment, family, local government, health care, labor, lawyers, public safety, roads, seniors and utilities. Summary books can be obtained by calling Dickinson’s office toll-free at 232-9600 or you may send a written request to: State Rep. Mae Dickinson Indiana House of Representatives Statehouse 200 W.
