Bill > HB1019

This bill proposes that a constitutional amendment concerning where a city or town court judge can live be placed on the ballot for Indiana voters to decide during the 2026 general election. The amendment, which has already been approved by two consecutive General Assemblies (Indiana's legislative body), would allow judges of city or town courts to reside either in the county where their court is located or in the adjacent county that is closest to their city or town. This process follows the state's constitutional requirements for amending its foundational law, and the bill specifically outlines the exact wording that will appear on the ballot as a "Public Question #1" for voters to answer.
