From State Senator Jean Leising
Fighting Violent Crime and Deadly DrugsIn recent years, communities across Indiana have experienced an increase in deadly drugs and violent crime on our streets.
Senate Bill 324 is currently making its way through the Indiana General Assembly and would increase criminal penalties for meth and fentanyl dealers. It would also require individualized bail determinations for arrestees charged with violent crimes so more scrutiny is given to whether the arrestee should be allowed back on our streets.
I supported this bill to help local law enforcement crack down on drug dealers putting dangerous substances in our communities and to help Indiana residents stay safe across the state.
SB 324 passed the Senate with bipartisan support and is now being considered by the House of Representatives.
