The Indiana Supreme Court has denied an emergency request by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita to intervene in Gov. Eric Holcomb s lawsuit against a bill limiting the governor s emergency powers.
Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush issued the order Tuesday denying the request to immediately stay all proceedings in Holcomb s lawsuit, which is playing out in Marion Superior Court. The Indiana Supreme Court is still considering Rokita s non-emergency request that the trial court stay all proceedings in the lawsuit until after the Indiana General Assembly finishes its current session.
The Indiana General Assembly currently faces a Nov. 15 deadline.
Holcomb is suing over HEA 1123, a bill that gave the legislative body the right to call itself into session during a state of emergency without the governor’s approval. Lawyers for the governor say the bill is unconstitutional because of how it restricts the most powerful politician in the state.
