The three state representatives serving parts of Jackson County recently were selected to serve on interim study committees.
District 69 Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, will serve on the Public Policy Committee.
“I am looking forward to taking a look at the gaming industry in the state due to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the federal law banning sports betting,” Lucas said. “Interim study committees give us the chance to hear the thoughts and opinions of experts and the public. This summer will help us lay the groundwork for bills that we could introduce next session.”
