Rep. Lisa Beck

Maddy summaryThis is a ceremonial resolution, not a substantive bill. HR 24 formally congratulates Jesse Mendez, a Crown Point High School wrestler, on winning the 2019 Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) 126-pound state championship title. The resolution highlights his undefeated season (42-0), key tournament victories, and coach's praise for his skills. It does not create any new policy or affect any laws; it simply serves as a symbolic recognition of his athletic achievement. The resolution directs the House to send copies to Mendez and his family.

Establishes a procedure for a criminal court to use in determining if a defendant is indigent. Provides that, if a court has ordered a defendant to pay part of the cost of representation, the court shall inquire at sentencing whether the defendant has paid the required amount. Specifies that a court may prorate fines, fees, and court costs based on the person's reasonable ability to pay. (The introduced version of this bill was prepared by the interim study committee on corrections and criminal code.)
