Indiana General Assembly expected to discuss abortion rights and plans to combat inflation during a special session

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana General Assembly is expected to discuss legislation about abortion rights and plans to combat inflation during a special session that began today.

The 2022 special session technically started on July 6th, the day Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, called the general assembly to meet, but it was delayed a week before it was scheduled to start today.

The move was made in coordination between Holcomb, House Speaker Todd Huston, and Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, as they prepared to discuss abortion.

Lawmakers will need to complete their work by August 14th, 40 days after the special session started on July 6th.

On Wednesday afternoon, Indiana State Senate Republicans are holding a press conference to discuss their plans for the special session.
