SB 524: The practice of law.

SB 524, now Public Law 43, changes the residency requirement for appointing Indiana's head of the Department of Law. It allows an Indiana resident from any county bordering the department's location (a contiguous county) to be appointed, rather than requiring them to reside in the same county. This specifically affects the Governor's appointment process for this state position. The bill does not alter the department's duties or create new legal standards; it only modifies the geographic residency rule for the appointee.

HB 1102: Contracting for preschool programs.

HB 1102 removes a restriction that previously prevented school corporations (like public school districts) from contracting with religiously affiliated nonprofit preschool programs. This change directly affects school districts and religious nonprofits by allowing them to enter into formal agreements for preschool services. The key mechanism eliminates the existing language blocking such contracts, enabling school corporations to partner with faith-based preschool providers under the same terms as other approved programs. The bill became law on April 3, 2025, after final approval by the governor.
