The State House of Representatives is made up of 100 members. The House is the lower chamber in the Indiana General Assembly. Each member represents a district of about 65,000 residents, and is elected to a two-year term not subject to term limits. Primary responsibilities of a representative include writing and voting on legislation, overseeing programs enacted by the executive branch, holding hearings on policies and redistricting in collaboration with other representatives and the Senate. The House also is responsible for introduction of the biennial state budget, which must be passed by both the House and the Senate and signed by the governor before it can take effect.
