    Greetings from the Indiana Statehouse:

    It has been an interesting week. The General Assembly is trying to get things wrapped up today. I will be sending out my final Legislative Report next week to highlight all of the legislation we were able to pass.

    This week our 5-year DROP bill almost died twice. As you may recall, the original bill was SB275. That bill died. However, we were able to take the DROP language from the bill and amend it into SB256. That bill then hit some snags so we again amended the language into HB1004. HB1004 passed through the Senate today and is headed to the Governor’s desk. So it looks like the 5-year DROP will become law on July 1, 2024. Many thanks to Senator Buchanan for his leadership with this bill. He worked tirelessly for the FOP and PFFUI to keep it alive.

    As always, the Legislative report is attached. I have removed all dead bills.

    Please feel free to contact myself of President Owensby with any questions or concerns.

    Stay safe,

    Ed
