Hoosiers to Vote on Bail Amendment: No Bond for Repeat Violent Offenders
Indiana residents will soon decide on a constitutional amendment allowing judges to deny bail for crimes beyond murder and treason. Governor Mike Braun signed two bills into law, setting the stage for the vote. The change would enable no bail if the state demonstrates a defendant poses a significant risk to people or the community. While Democrats express concerns about the broad rules, Republican sponsors aim to keep repeat violent offenders off the streets. Judges will consider evidence strength, crime severity, and the persons background, criminal history, and ties to family or work before making a decision. Rulings can be appealed immediately, and the law takes effect in January. If voters reject the amendment, state lawmakers can revisit and modify it when they reconvene in the fall.
