Key measures passed by the House today include bills relating to electronic smoking devices, child welfare services, a state telework pilot monitoring system, firearms, and destination management in Hawaiʻi.
A bill filed in the Indiana Senate would reform the state’s asset forfeiture laws to prohibit the state from taking a person’s property without a criminal conviction in most situations. Passage of the bill would also take a small step toward closing a federal loophole that allows police to circumvent more strict state forfeiture laws by passing cases off to the feds.
