Austin Reynolds recently served as an Indiana House Page during the 2010 session of the Indiana General Assembly.
As a page, students 13 years and older spend the day gaining an understanding about state government and how laws are made.
Paging is an experience in which students take a backstage tour of the Statehouse and work alongside legislative assistants and interns. On session days, pages experience how a bill becomes a law as they watch legislators on the House floor debate issues. On committee days, the students witness where a bill receives first consideration and watch hearings where the public submits input.
The Indiana House Page Program is a way for students to become more familiar with the lawmaking process by meeting their state representative and witnessing how laws are made firsthand. It is an experience that comes highly recommended.
Reynolds served as a page for Indiana State Rep. David Wolkins. Reynolds, Warsaw, is a freshman at Warsaw Community High School.
