Indianas New Judicial Selection Bill: A Shift in Power
A new bill in Indiana, House Bill ten thirty-three, is heading to Governor Mike Brauns desk, altering how judges are selected in four counties. The bill replaces the current commission, which includes bar association reps, legislative leaders, and political parties, with a new panel consisting of the governor and the chief justice of the Indiana Supreme Court. This change, led by Republican State Representative Danny Lopez, has been met with criticism from Democrat Representative Greg Porter, who calls it a direct hit on minority communities in the judicial system. The first judges facing retention under the new committee start March thirteenth.
