I culled the following list from The Indiana Lawyer Capitol Watch newsletter of the remaining legislation pending in this year's General Assembly. I have not had time to double check the list or what changes exist from earlier stages of the legislative process. But I am providing links to the Bills so that you cna check them out.

I am pleased to report that SB140 was passed unanimously but without my amendment that would allow the father to object through the filing of a paternity action in the same court. SB178 passed unanimously with all the language that Robert Monday and I wanted in there. SB163 received unanimous concurrence in the Senate.
