The Indiana General assembly is the legislative branch of the Indiana state government. The Legislature meets yearly to discuss which bills will be turned into laws. Being a member of the Assembly is not a full time job. Each member is elected to the Assembly for two years. The President of the Senate is the lieutenant governor, Becky Skillman.
Along with the power to pass and veto bills, the Legislature has the power to set the size of the courts and their districts over the Judicial Branch. The General Assembly is responsible for the activities of the executive branch. Perhaps the most powerful of the General Assembly's powers is to initiate the process to amend the state's constitution.
