2017 Indiana General Assembly: Good Government Bill Watch
Good Bills
HB1014: Redistricting commission
Authors: Rep. Jerry Torr (R), Rep. Brian Bosma (R), Rep. John Bartlett (D), Rep. Justin Moed (D)
Status: Died in the House Elections and Apportionment Committee
Position: CAC supports this bill
Description:This bill will create redistricting commissions to bring accountably and transparency to the process of drawing legislative districts for the Indiana General Assembly and Indiana’s congressional districts. SB136 and SB278 are two similar bills that we are also watching. The three bills do things a little differently and all three need a little work, but they are all a huge step in the right direction.
Author: Sen. Michael Delph (R)
Status: Died in the Senate Rules and Legislative Procedure Committee
Position: CAC supports this bill
Description: The bill effectively bans gifts to legislators from lobbyists and places strict reporting and transparency requirements on legislators and lobbyists regarding their communications.
