Open Door
Weekly Report From Senator John B. Augsburger
With the Indiana General Assembly having now completed 30 of the 61 session days, state lawmakers were busy this week considering proposals dealing with the repeal of the direct primary, no fault divorce, the creation of a state lottery, a federal balanced budget, limiting the length of the ‘long’ legislative session, as well as many other measures affecting the state and its people. Under a proposal authored by Senate President Pro Tern Martin K. “Chip” Edwards, the direct primary for the office of governor and lieutenant governor would be repealed and replaced with a political nominating convention. This bill was voted out of the elections committee and is ready for a third reading on the Senate calendar. Regarding the creation of a state operated lottery, a measure which would have dropped the present Constitutional ban on a state lottery failed to win a constitutional majority. For this measure to become law, it would have to be passed by two successive legislatures and approved in a referendum by a majority of the people. Indiana’s resolution urging the Congress to call a convention for “the specific and exclusive purpose” c r proposing a federal balanced budget amendment was the focus of much debate and discussion as several amendments were proposed that would have weakened the resolution. These amendments were all defeated. The bill has proceeded to a third reading on the Senate Calendar and will be called for a final vote within the next few days. If the Senate adopts this resolution, Indiana will become the 27th of the 34 states needed to call a convention. In other action, the Senate approved on second reading a bill which would set the adjournment deadline for ‘long’ sessions at April 15. Present state law requires the adjournment by April 30. In a related action, a move to limit the number of bills state legislators could file during the short session to one per member was defeated. It was felt that such a limit was too restrictive and would have limited the flexibility of the legislators.

have not ratified by the original date of March 22, 1979, also passed the Senate by a 29-21 vote. The proposal caused much controversy and debate among the senators as they defended their individual positions before a crowded gallery of concerned interest groups from various organizations. The bill will now proceed to the House of Representatives for further action. In Committee action, the following bills were considered this week: •SB 106, which requires that administrative rules expire two years after promulgation unless they are approved by a joint resolution of the General Assembly. This bill passed the Governmental Affairs Committee. •SB 308A was approved by the Senate Energy Committee. This bill would create an energy division, division of agriculture, and a minority business enterprise division within the State Department of Commerce. •SB 271. The elections committee is involved with this legislation which would allow county commissioners in counties having a population of less than 80,000 to establish by majority vote a board of voter registration. •SB 290 has passed the elections committee. This bill provides that certain judicial vacancies be filled by caucus in the manner that vacancies are filled for other elective offices. •SB 343A, also referred to the elections committee, specifies that a county policeman has a right to run for elective office and to permit him, when he is not in uniform or on duty, to campaign for office and be a challenger at the polls. It was issued a do pass as amended. •SB 438, which deals with nofault divorce procedure was amended Tuesday in Judiciary Committee. The bill, to repeal Indiana’s no-fault divorce law, was amended to increase the cooling-off period between filing for divorce and the final hearing from 60 to 90 days. It would also reinstate a provision for a legal separation. The judge would be able to consider the conduct of the two parties as related to the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage in determining a property settlement. The amendment makes these changes without changing the grounds for divorce.

Report from your State Representative
The Indiana General Assembly spent most of last week working on the Republican tax bills which would restructure the state tax laws. The Republicans, with 54 members, were in control in deciding how the $290 million state surplus would be spent by the Democrats, with 46 members, used every parliamentary tool available to try and stall the bills from passage. So that you might follow the measures in the State Senate, here is what the House package would do: HB 1001 — Give renter’s a $1,500 deduction, to parallel the tax relief enjoyed by homeowners since enactment of the 1973 Relief Program. The deduction, which would amount to about a S3O savings, will cost the state about sl2 million. HB 1002 — Cut individual income taxes by 10 per cent. Hoosiers would notice the reduction on their paychecks next January, but the bill would also let taxpayers claim credit the last six months of this year on 1979 returns. The cost would be $l3B million. This bill was changed to a permanent reduction in caucus — an important revision which may not have been implemented, had we insisted upon moving the package out of the House more swiftly. HB 1003 — Set new controls on civil taxing units, to keep local spending at a responsible level. It was Republicans who engineered the 1973 tax program, and Republicans who fought for continued taxpayer protection in the 1977 special session. The limits on property taxes expire in 1960, and we do not intend to allow a good program to be destroyed simply through inaction. HB 1004 — Create a 30 per cent

fund rate to offset the effects of reassessment. In summary, I believe that voters made a strong philosophical statement November 7 when they returned control of the House to Republicans and restored Senate control to Republicans. Voters recognized Republicans stand for limited government and less government spending. They rejected a Democrat platform which called for two new state agencies and new programs that would have cost an additional $4 billion to start and another $1 billion annually.
