Open Door Weekly Report From Senator John B. Augsburger

The 100th session of the Indiana General Assembly was gaveled into session on Wednesday, Jan. 5. Politically split houses promise to bring about an interesting session. Nearly 600 bills have been filed in the Senate and House since organization day. A total of 1,700 to 1,800 bills are expected before the 31st session day deadline. The format of the Senate activities has been changed somewhat this year. For those planning on visiting the capitol during the session the Senate is meeting at 10 a.m., with committee hearing in the afternoon. Although we only met for three session days, this first week, there has been activity worth noting. In the senate education committee a bill authored by Senator Joan Gubbins (RIndianapolis) was tabled. It would have detailed textbooks and other teaching material standards. The tabling vote was 8-2. On another issue the committee is considering a bill to create a state textbook fund to provide textbooks free of charge and to supplement rental fees which would be a maximum of $lB per pupil. In other committee action, the governmental affairs commitee, of which I am a member, recommended passage of three bills dealing with divergent issues. The bills recommended fcr passage are: SB 91, which provides for rural landowners who do not have domestic animals to construct a row of posts to partition their land instead of a fence. SB 123 allows county councils to set fees for services performed by county clerks and recorders. SB 125 requires the public service commission to consider conservation of energy and natural resources. The rules and legislative procedure committee considered two bills. SB 196 would abolish annual sessions and returns to biennial sessions in oddnumbered years. SB 208 would eliminate the concept of “session” days and changes the

long session adjournment to April 15. Bills which would give ta“x relief to the elderly and those on fixed incomes have been introduced. SB 22 would authorize a surviving spouse to claim the old age exemption of a deceased spouse, if he or she is at least 55. SB 25 would increase the exemption for those who are over 65 years of age from SI,OOO to $2,000 and for those who are blind from $2,000 to $3,000. It would increase the income limits for those over 65 from $6,000 to $9,000 and for the blind from $5,500 to $8,250. SB 233 expands the circuit breaker, giving further property tax reduction in the form of credits on the individual state income taxes, to those either owning their own home or renting. The property tax relief would give a more attractive package to individuals over 65 and to those making less than $7,500. The future for the Senate holds consideration of several issues. The sunset bill (SB 32) would force state agencies to periodically prove their worth or be eliminated. Hearings have been held on this bill but no action has been taken. Also, plan on amendments to the Indiana Penal Code being passed before it goes into effect in July. (SB 84, 93, 200) Hopefully, some answer will be arrived at during this session regarding police and firemen’s pension plans. I consider it a very distinct privilege to represent you in the state senate. I will endeavor to act «L4y«ur best interest in matters before the legislature and want your input on matters coming before the general assembly. Saturday mornings will be set aside to meet in communities of the 13th district with times and places announced soon. If any one has any questions or views they would like to share with me, contact me at the Indiana State Senate, State House, Indianapolis, Ind. 46204. My telephone number is 317-269-3500.
