Maddy summaryHB 1533 establishes a process for removing a judge appointed to Marion County Superior Court through a public vote (a "public question" on the ballot), rather than through judicial disciplinary procedures. This bill directly affects judges appointed to the Marion County Superior Court by the governor. The key mechanism requires voters in Marion County to approve removal via ballot measure if initiated by a specified petition process. The bill does not change existing grounds for removal or judicial conduct standards, only creating this new public vote option. It is currently under review by the Committee on Courts and Criminal Code.

Maddy summaryThis bill (HR 5) is a ceremonial resolution congratulating the Lawrenceburg High School Lady Tigers varsity soccer team on their athletic achievements. It does not create any new policies, laws, or financial obligations - it is a symbolic gesture recognizing the team's accomplishments. The resolution directly affects the team as recipients of the formal recognition. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal or practical impact beyond the ceremonial acknowledgment.

Maddy summaryHB 1266 removes the time limit for prosecuting Level 1 and Level 2 felony sex crimes, allowing prosecutors to file charges at any time. This directly affects victims of these specific crimes by ensuring they can seek justice regardless of how much time has passed since the offense. The bill also makes minor legal adjustments ("conforming changes") to align related statutes with this new rule. The change means prosecutors can pursue these cases without being restricted by previous deadlines.

Allows for the prosecution of: (1) child molesting to be commenced before the date the alleged victim reaches 51 years of age; and (2) rape to be commenced within 15 years after the commission of the offense.

Requires each sheriff with regard to a county jail to: (1) enter into a written agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to participate in the immigration program established under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act not later than January 1, 2026; and (2) beginning October 1, 2025, notify the department of correction quarterly of the status of a written agreement and any reason for noncompliance.
