• Energy and Environment.
• Appropriations Subcommittee on Department of Health and Human Services (minority vice chair)
• Appropriations Subcommittee on Corrections and Judiciary.

“Committee hearings and the work done behind the scenes by committees is among the most important aspects of what we do here in the Legislature,” said Outman, R-Six Lakes. “Committee hearings give people a chance to come in and share their thoughts or concerns about legislation.
