Bill Summary
Membership of the general assembly. Increases the membership of the Indiana senate to 100 members and the membership of the Indiana house of representatives to 200 members. This proposed amendment has not been previously agreed to by a general assembly.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Indiana state constitution to increase the size of the state legislature. Specifically, it would expand the Indiana Senate from its current maximum of 50 members to 100 members, and enlarge the House of Representatives from 100 members to 200 members. The proposed constitutional amendment follows the standard process for state constitutional changes in Indiana, which requires passage by two consecutive General Assemblies. The resolution was introduced during the 124th General Assembly and would need to be agreed to by the next General Assembly before being put to voters. The proposed changes would impact how state representatives and senators are chosen, maintaining the current method of selecting legislators by electors from their respective districts. This potential expansion could potentially increase representation and provide more granular representation of local constituencies across the state.
