Organization Day, the official convening of the 117th Indiana General Assembly, was held on November 16. Traditionally held in mid-November, Organization Day provided an opportunity for new and re-elected legislators to be sworn in, new rules to be adopted, and for legislators to make arrangements for the upcoming legislative session. The Indiana Senate and House of Representatives now stand in recess and will reconvene on January 5, 2011.
