STATEHOUSE (Nov. 19, 2024) — State Sen. Ed Charbonneau (R-Valparaiso) gathered with fellow legislators today at the Statehouse for Organization Day – the ceremonial start of the 124th Indiana General Assembly.
Organization Day includes the swearing in of new and returning members of the General Assembly, including Charbonneau, who take the formal oath of office to begin a new term. This day also marks the annual first roll call of all state lawmakers and gives each Senate and House of Representatives caucus the opportunity to organize in preparation for the 2025 legislative session. By state law, the 2025 session will conclude on or before April 29.
During the first session of each General Assembly, lawmakers craft a comprehensive budget to fund government services for the next two fiscal years.
"I am honored to continue representing our local community at the Statehouse and am eager to begin working on legislation that will positively impact Hoosiers," Charbonneau said. "As vice-chair of the Interim Study Committee on Public Health, Behavioral Health, and Human Services and a member of Health Care Cost Oversight Task Force, I look forward to working with my fellow lawmakers to address several health care related topics, including holding pharmacy benefit managers accountable."
As the 2025 session gets underway, Charbonneau encourages residents of Senate District 5 to contact him with any questions or comments they may have. Charbonneau can be reached by filling out a "Contact Me" form online at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Charbonneau or by phone at 800-382-9467.
