The Internet provides exciting new opportunities for citizen participation in the decision-making process at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis.
The Indiana House of Representatives provides both live and archived video of its floor sessions as well as meetings of the House Ways & Means Committee and hearings of several other House committees.
Although the Indiana State Legislature has completed its work for the 2008 session, archived webcasts are available online.
No part of the audio or video coverage provided may be used for a commercial purpose intended to result in a profit or other tangible benefit to any person without the permission of the Indiana Legislative Council.
Except as provided in IC 2-5-1.1, audio or video coverage does not constitute legislative history or an expression of the legislative intent, purpose, or meaning of an act enacted or a resolution adopted by the General Assembly.
Floor sessions and committee hearings alike are sometimes “in recess,” meaning that legislators are not currently meeting but intend to return.
Legislative hearings and floor sessions can vary dramatically in length. It is also not exceptionally rare for floor sessions and committee hearings of the Senate and House of Representatives to fail to start at the precise time designated.
