Committee hears bill to codify Hoosier Homestead program and add remonstrance against eminent domain; held for amendment

House Bill 1265 would place the Hoosier Homestead Farm recognition program into statute and create a limited local remonstrance process for family farms facing fee‑simple condemnation. The committee heard testimony from long‑time farm families and ISDA, and the bill was held so technical changes can be drafted.
