The Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, February 23, 2022, on HB 1077, which is known as the Constitutional Carry bill in Indiana. The hearing will be in Room 130, starting at 1:30 p.m.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is where Constitutional Carry in Indiana was killed in 2021, after being passed by the Indiana House on a 65 to 31 vote. In 2022, Constitutional Carry passed the House 63 to 29, virtually the same margin of two to one.
Eight members of the Judiciary Committee are Republicans. They are Liz Brown (R), Chairman; Eric Koch (R), Ranking member; Mike Bohacek, (R), James Buck (R); Arron Freeman (R); Mike Gaskill (R); Susan Glick (R); Michael Young (R).
Two, Eric Koch and Michael Young are bill sponsors for Constitutional Carry.
Three members of the Judiciary Committee are Democrats. They are Lonnie Randolph, Ranking Minority Member; Timothy Lanane (D), and Greg Taylor (D).
If Constitutional Carry is passed out of the Judiciary Committee to the Senate, it will likely pass the Senate. 14 Republican senators would need to vote against it to stop it. It is more likely a couple of Republican senators will vote against it in the Judiciary committee, thereby limiting the exposure of senators to just a couple. Two of the Republican Judiciary Committee members are sponsors of the bill. They are unlikely to vote against it.
The bill needs four more votes to pass out of the committee. Alternatively, three Republicans will need to join with the Democrats to stop the bill in the committee.
