did pass out of the Senate Local Government Committee with an 8-0 vote. The full Senate passed it 48-1. The Hoosier State Press Association does not have a problem making its case for public notices to remain in local newspapers before a summer legislative committee. It will not oppose S.B. 283 as it tra- verses the House if the language remains in the form passed by the Senate. The sponsor of the bill in the House will be Rep. Doug Miller, R-Elkhart. S.B. 283 was assigned to the House Rules and Legislative Procedures Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Leonard, R-Huntington. Rep. Miller is the chairman of the House Government and Regulatory Reform Committee. He killed HSPA's H.B. 1101, our modernization of public notice policy bill, by denying it a com- mittee hearing. The HSPA bill would have addressed present complaints concerning public notice policy and laid down the path to a digital public notice require- ment in local journalistic enti- ties. Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, was the bill's author and worked with HSPA to craft the language. The co-authors were Reps. Mike Karickhoff, R-Kokomo; Karen Engleman, R-Georgetown; and Ed Delaney, D-Indianapolis. HSPA was told that Rep. Miller preferred Sen. Buck's original bill over the HSPA pro- posal.
