In a unanimous ruling, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled the bill giving the General Assembly the ability to call itself into special sessions was unconstitutional.
House Enrolled Act 1123 was passed with a veto override in 2021, and Gov. Eric Holcomb filed a lawsuit claiming the new law was unconstitutional because it impermissibly infringed upon his constitutional authority.
