HB 1035: Permissible unsupervised activity.

Defines "independent activity". Provides that a child is not a child in need of services solely because a parent, guardian, or custodian allows the child to engage in an independent activity unless the parent, guardian, or custodian is so reckless in allowing the child to engage in the independent activity that it endangers the child's health or safety given the child's maturity, condition, and ability. Provides a defense for neglect of a dependent that the accused person reasonably believed that an independent activity was not dangerous.

SB 25: School board candidates.

SB 25, despite its misleading "Vehicle Bill" title, is actually a school board election procedure bill. It requires that when multiple candidates run for a school board position within specific designated candidate groups, they must be listed in a defined order: first by their group designation, then alphabetically by last name. This rule directly affects school board candidates and election administrators in districts where this candidate grouping applies. The bill focuses solely on standardizing candidate ordering for ballot presentation, with no other policy changes or financial impacts described. (Note: The title "Vehicle Bill" appears to be an error based on the bill's actual content.)

HB 1019: Constitutional amendment ballot question.

HB 1019 specifies the exact wording that will appear on ballots for a proposed constitutional amendment about residency requirements for city or town court judges. It directly affects voters who will see this precise language when casting ballots on the amendment. The bill does not change the actual residency rules for judges but sets the official ballot question text for public consideration. This procedural step ensures consistent voter information ahead of a potential referendum.

This legislation prevents any future use of ranked choice voting for local elections in the state.

SB 89: Three-way permits.

SB 89 authorizes the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission to issue new three-way permits in specific locations. It allows up to three new permits for Schererville, three for Lafayette, two for West Lafayette, and eight for restaurants within transit development districts. These permits typically allow alcohol service in multiple settings (like dining, retail, and entertainment) under one license. The bill directly affects businesses in those designated areas by expanding their alcohol service options through new permit authorizations.

HB 1048: VFD clothing and automobile allowances.

HB 1048 increases the clothing and automobile expense reimbursement for active volunteer fire department (VFD) members from $100 to $250 per year. This change directly affects volunteer firefighters who incur personal costs for uniforms, work-related clothing, and vehicle use while serving. The bill provides a concrete financial adjustment to cover these out-of-pocket expenses, simplifying reimbursement for VFD members. It does not alter eligibility requirements or create new administrative processes. The bill passed committee with a "do pass" recommendation in early 2026.
