Kinda funny the legislature had to pass "the same" law twice. The first one was totally ignored by the Indiana Supreme Court - as in not even mentioned in its first opinion on the subject. Then, called out to render an opinion in light of the legislation they ignored the first time, the Indiana Supreme Court put out some double-speak mumbo jumbo that said the same thing as the first opinion.

I'd have impeached the entire lot of them for ignoring the legislation.

This statutory provision essentially restates what the common law right had been in Indiana prior to the Supreme Court decision. There was no statutory provision before the Decision; there didn’t need to be. This right existed at the common law from the very dawn of English history.
