Legislation governing how police body camera videos are released to the public underwent significant changes in a Senate committee Wednesday. Now, all sides of the issue largely support the measure.

Senate Bill 313 -- banning abortions based on race, gender or disability -- passed the full Senate earlier this session, but it couldn't get a hearing in the House. So, a Senate committee revived 313 in the form of an amendment to a House bill that deals with the disposal of fetal tissue.

The Indiana Senate approved a measure banning local governments from taxing or restricting the use of disposable plastic bags by retailers, including grocery stores.

The measure passed on a 38-10 vote Tuesday was dramatically different from a version of the bill approved by the House.

The judge dismissed the lawsuit Monday saying the caseworkers don't have the legal right to bring the claim against DCS.

General Council for Indiana's BMV Adam Krupp says 163 user fees will be eliminated or reduced, if the bill becomes law, and that an overly complex fee system will be heavily cut down.

If you're a patient-of-record at your pharmacy, Rep. Ben Smaltz's bill allows you to continue buying pseudoephedrine, a standard cold medicine, as usual. If you're not, you can buy a small amount of the drug before needing a prescription.

Legislation to create an Indiana hate-crime law is expected to die in the House because it won't get a committee hearing.

The measure imposes rules on an industry that was left unregulated by court rulings last year. It sets regulations on the facilities, mandating things such as fence height, acreage, and reporting of escape and disease.

Legislation that would restrict state environmental regulators from creating tougher rules looks unlikely to advance this session after a Senate committee completely overhauled the measure on Monday.
