Holcomb To Call Special Legislative Session

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind — Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb says he will be calling state lawmakers back to the capitol for a special session in May.

The Republican-controlled House and Senate reached last week’s adjournment deadline without taking up a number of key bills.

The Governor wanted the session to focus on tax issues and providing additional money for school safety.

Among the bills that died were measures to boost school safety, allow for driver-less cars, eliminated handgun license fees and make adjustments to the tax system.

Republicans control both the House and Senate and each chamber is blaming the other for the failure to complete their work.
