Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee.

     (b) Area boards of health created under this chapter have jurisdiction with the board established under IC 13-13-8 and the department of environmental management within the uniform inspection and enforcement area established under section 5 of this chapter.
