OUR LEGISLATURE BY THAMES MAUZY State Representative

Although the primary responsibility of the Indiana Legislature is to approve and update laws that govern the citizens of the state of Indiana, members of the General Assembly occasionally take a step beyond these boundaries. One of these steps, which has lately been used in the Indiana House of Representatives, is the process. Memorializations are definite stands on current issues being dealt with by the federal government. Passed by a majority of the members, memorializations have no actual legal authority but act as an expression of state legislative sentiment to the federal government. Memorializations usually take the form of concurrent resolutions, which means they must be passed by a majority of both the house ancLsenate before they are sent to Washington. I mention this process now in light of the fact tret the house has passed two memorializations in the last week. The first, passed last Monday by a 55-19 vote in the house, memorialized the president, the congress and any members of the U.S. delegation to the World Bank “to immediately bring to a stop any consideration by the World Bank and the International Development Association of a proposed loan to the “Peoples Republic of Viet Nam’ in the amount of S2OO million which would be guaranteed through funds appropriated by the Congress of the United States.” This memorialization comes in

Open Door Weekly Report From Senator John B Augsburger

During the past week, the senate has focused most of its attention on house bills that have moved over to this chamber. Several election bills passed the senate on Wednesday. Some received easy approval while others met considerable debate. HB 1276 was barely approved by a vote of 26-21. The bill would require voters’ registration be made available in public areas of residence halls at all colleges and universities in the state. Deputy registrars would be allowed in student or teacher housing facilities between 10 a m. and 8 p.m. each day of March and September Criticism came in that general laws on registration states that the deputy registrar s work in the field must end 45 days before the election. Others objected that.the legislature should not tell private institutions what they have to do. Engrossed house bill 1246, which I co-sponsored, passed the senate on Friday, March 11, by a vote of 44-0. This measure will benefit the livestock owners in the State of Indiana and will become law upon signature of the governor The bill raises the state's maximum share for cattle destroyed because of tuberculosis from SBO to $350. The present law was written during the depression. This amendment will catch up with the inflation from the past 40 years. The new law states that owners of cattle destroyed because of exposure to tuberculosis or showing a positive reaction to a tuberculosis test shall be eligible for an indemnity payment which may not exceed the appraised value of each animal. The state’s share of such payment may not exceed $350 and may not exceed the federal indemnity on each animal. EHB 1246 passed the house on January 27. 1977 by a vote of 80-15. Another bill (HB1165) would require candidates for precinct committeeman to be registered voters. House bill 1217. of which I am senate co-sponsor, allows absentee voter ballots to be returned by first-class mail instead of special delivery. This will bring a total savings of approximately $137,000 to counties in the state. A constitutional change is reflected in H 81220. The bill states that the only residency requirement is that a person live in the precinct for 30 days preceding the election. HB 1995 passed 43-0 and deletes the requirement that the township trustee post notices of an election in three public places. A teachers' bill (SB 325) passed the senate on Wednesday. It provides that tenured teachers could demand binding arbitration if they face dismissal. It is unlikely that this bill will be

the wake of a World Bank mission to Hanoi, lasting about amonth and seeing other areas of Viet Nam, which was described by the bank “as a useful and constructive start to the bank’s relationship with unified Viet Nam.” Support for the resolution came primarily from members who cited Viet Nam’s reluctance to assist in locating American MlA’s as one of their main points. Passed Wednesday by an overwhelming vote in the House, the second resolution memorializes the Congress, “to immediately initiate and support legislation overruling a proposed ban by the Food and Drug Administration on the production and use of the chemical sweetner saccharin, since the methods of testing by the FDA are suspect.” The resolution goes on to explain such a ban would eliminate the only artificial sweetner available for those people who require a sugar-free diet, including those Americans suffering from diabetes. This resolution comes a week after an FDA announcement that rats daily fed a dose of saccharin which amounted to 5 per cent of the their diet by weight, displayed an unusually high number of malignant bladder tumors. As mentioned before, these resolutions carry no legal authority and will most likely not have an immediate effect on any governmental agency. Yet, it is one attempt, little known to the average citizen,* to convey the Hoosier viewpoint to the federal government.

passed in the house because of the late date of its arrival in that chamber. An office established by Governor Bowen to combat discrimination based on race, sex, religion, ancestry, handicap or age would be provided protection under the law for its authority through SB 488 which was sent to the house this week. In order to become law, the house must move quickly to bring it to a vote. The bill does have bipartisan sponsorship in the House and is expected to be scheduled on their calendar. Landlord-tenant legislation has not been successful in either the house or senate this session. Another unsuccessful measure was the mandatory auto insurance bill. The critics said it would raise insurance premiums of all motorists by up to SIOO a year and would be cumbersome to administer. r Due to the complexities of the budget and the need for extensive discussion, the legislators will recess Tuesday and Friday, March 22 and 25th. Following the three days of floor action, only 10 session days remain to complete the business of the general assembly for 1977., Sheep shearing school to be held March 26 A sheep shearing school will be held at the Dale Phillips farm on Saturday, March 26, at 9:30 a.m. The school is designed as a training session for beginning shearers to gain experience in shearing sheep. Dr. Jim Outhouse, Purdue sheep specialist; Fred Lloyd, extension livestock agent from Fountain County; and Dale Culp, an experienced shearer, will conduct the session. The Phillips farm is located on CR 2505, south of Warsaw, one half mile west of state road 15. Stalled car is struck Saturday A car driven by Alicia A. Cox, r 1 Leesburg, stalled on Armstrong road at 8:10 p.m. Saturday and was struck by a vehicle driven by Toby L. Popenfoose, 20, r 1 Warsaw. Both vehicles were headed west at the time of the accident. Lt. Richard Mikel of the county department set damages at S9OO to the vehicle driven by Miss Cox and owned by Harold R. Brown of r 1 Leesburg and $950 to the Popenfoose car.
