Converting Indy's Streets, Downtown Funding Tool, Landlord Bill Fails, Restricting Cell Phones in Class, Drug Crime Treatment

The reconstruction of a number of Indianapolis streets from one-way to two-way is in motion. A bill that would repeal a funding tool for downtown Indianapolis passed the Indiana House on Tuesday. A bill to close a loophole that prevents Marion County from enforcing code violations against some landlords failed to pass a Senate committee yesterday. A bill that restricts the use of cellphones by students in classrooms unanimously passed the Senate Tuesday and will now head to the House. Lawmakers want to get pregnant people who have been charged with drug crimes into treatment earlier.
