Lawmakers Outline Local Option and High License Steps
Representatives McMullen and Tingle lead the fight for the platform measure in the house. The Stotsenburg-Proctor amended bill moves in the Senate to the public morals committees, with joint consideration to follow. The plan aligns changes to the county local option law with the Democratic state platform and updates units for city township and territory outside incorporated cities. Other actions include a pledge to redeem local option before tackling high license rules and a note that McCarty and Tilden opposed the repeal two years ago. Additional measures from the Indianapolis Bar association and local bills on nurse registration, county surveyor salary, and probate commissioners are introduced by Marion county reps.
