Indiana SJR0001 amends the state constitution to restrict bail for non-murder, non-treason offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption.
Indiana SJR0001 proposes a constitutional amendment to Article 1, Section 17, concerning bail. It specifies that offenses other than murder or treason are not bailable if the proof is evident or the presumption strong and if the state proves by clear and convincing evidence that no release conditions will reasonably protect the safety of any other person or the community. This amendment must be agreed to by a second general assembly and ratified by a majority of the state's voters to be effective.
