Legislation

Although HB1662 failed earlier in the legislative session, it was revived as an amendment in two other bills before ultimately failing.

STATUS: HB 1167 PASSED HOUSE SB 312 PASSED SENATE

The bill would subject those Hoosiers convicted of rioting, criminal mischief, burglary, residential entry, or criminal trespass on state property to three-year bans for certain social support benefits or various types of public university tuition support.

This common-sense reform bill removes unfair penalty enhancements related to the perpetrators HIV status.

This bill would replace death sentences for individuals with life in prison without parole.

This bill allows certain convicted persons who have a chronic medical condition or are terminally ill or gravely disabled to file a petition for sentence modification, without the consent of the prosecuting attorney.

In Indiana, Black Hoosiers are more than 3.5 times more likely than their white neighbors to be arrested for marijuana possession. The Indiana General Assembly should pass marijuana legalization bills and prioritize racial justice and equity in reform efforts.
