Description
Language that would allegedly "criminalize homelessness" has been added to an unrelated Senate bill at the Indiana Statehouse.
Senate Bill 197, authored by Sen. Aaron Freeman (R-District 32) and Sen. Blake Doriot (R-District 12), originally focused on unsafe buildings. But an amendment added on Monday, April 7 added language that would charge unhoused people who sleep on public property with a crime.
