INDIANAPOLIS - State Rep. Garrett Bascom (R-Lawrenceburg) recently received appointments to serve as a member of three key House committees.

Bascom, elected to his first term in November, will serve as a member of the House Courts and Criminal Code Committee, the House Judiciary Committee and the House Local Government Committee.
