Committee passes three agency and industry bills; HB 13‑43 recommitted for amendment
The committee unanimously approved three bills — HB 11‑53 (auto dealer fraud prevention), HB 12‑02 (DHS/CJI/Toxicology agency bill), and HB 11‑55 (HOA pilot permitting off‑duty officers to enforce HOA speed limits) — and reopened HB 13‑43 for further amendment in appropriations due to contentious testimony on Guard policing and other provisions.
The full story
In a single hearing the committee voted on multiple bills. House Bill 11‑53, presented by Representative Lawson, codifies dealer best practices to reduce fraud (retaining purchaser ID copies, requiring haulers to provide a physical Indiana address or USDOT registration, and making operating without a required dealer license an infraction). After brief testimony by Kyle Bonnick (Auto Dealer Services Division) the committee approved the bill by voice vote; the chair announced the bill "passes 8‑0."
