INDIANAPOLIS — A bill that would require police departments at private universities to make public some information related to arrests or incarcerations for criminal offenses was approved by an Indiana General Assembly committee on Tuesday.
House Bill 1022, sponsored by Rep. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend and Rep. Casey Cox, R-Ft. Wayne, passed the House Government and Regulatory Reform committee with a 13-0 vote.
Bauer said Tuesday the bill was authored by the Independent Colleges of Indiana, including the University of Notre Dame. He said the bill is intended to increase the amount of information available to the public regarding police investigations on private campuses.
