Indiana Senate Passes Corporate Code Bill By One Vote
In Indianapolis on February 27 the senate narrowly passed the corporate code bill by a 26 to 20 vote after Senator Milburn shifted from no to yes. Opponents warned of injustice to small towns, while supporters argued for uniformity, with seven Democrats voting for the measure. Also approved were bills on foreign mutual fire insurers with higher cash requirements, state printing board changes, a Terre Haute primary election measure, and a felony for child desertion. The Woods wildlife preservation bill also passed, and prisoner separation measures gained approval along with inheritance tax considerations.
