Bail Policy Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would change Indiana's bail provisions to specify that offenses (other than murder or treason) are bailable unless the accused poses a substantial risk to another person or the community and the state proves no condition of release will protect the community.
What each outcome does
If approved, judges would be allowed to deny bail in non-capital cases when the state proves the accused poses a substantial risk to others and no condition of release will protect the community.
If rejected, the current Indiana constitutional bail rules remain in place, generally guaranteeing bail in non-capital cases.
