INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) News 8’s David Williams reports lawmakers in the Indiana House have voted to override a 2020 veto by Gov. Eric Holcomb, making the measure into law.
Senate Bill 148 from the 2020 General Assembly would prevent individual cities from taking action on landlord and tenant matters, including expedited evictions and regulating rental properties.
In 2020, the state Senate voted 29-19 in favor of a House-Senate agreement on the bill, which the House later approved 64-32, before the legislative session adjourned March 12. Both the House and Senate had Republican supermajorities, both in 2020 and again in 2021. The Republican governor vetoed the measure on March 25, citing the emerging coronavirus pandemic as one concern.
