In Indiana we’ll have one Public Question on the ballot this year, too:
Indiana Public Question 1, Bailable Offenses and Substantial Risk Standard Amendment (2026)
Section 17. Offenses, other than murder or treason, shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless the accused poses a substantial risk to any other person or the community. Murder or treason shall not be bailable when the proof is evident, or the presumption strong. An offense other than murder or treason shall not be bailable if:
(1) the proof is evident or the presumption strong; and
(2) the state proves by clear and convincing evidence that no release conditions will reasonably protect the safety of any other person or the community.
What are your thoughts?
