flag Indiana replaces local bar members on key judicial committees with state appointees, effective immediately.

flag Indiana’s House Bill 1033, awaiting Governor Mike Braun’s signature, replaces local bar association members on Marion County’s judicial selection committee with two appointees each from the governor and the Supreme Court chief justice. flag The change, aimed at improving court efficiency and accountability, removes local legal groups from the process in Marion County and three other high-caseload counties. flag The bill passed 59-2 and takes effect immediately, with the first judges under the new system facing retention votes on March 13. flag Proponents say it strengthens centralized oversight, while critics argue it diminishes local input and threatens minority representation.
