Bill > HB1235

This bill amends Indiana law to specify that certain Level 2 controlled substance offenses are "nonsuspendible," meaning a judge cannot suspend any part of the sentence. This applies if the offense involves methamphetamine or heroin and the person has a prior felony conviction for dealing in controlled substances, excluding marijuana and certain synthetic drugs. The bill clarifies that a Level 2 felony refers to a serious crime, and "nonsuspendible" means the minimum sentence must be served. This change aims to impose stricter penalties for repeat offenders involved in serious drug crimes.
