SENATE RESOLUTION



MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

    A SENATE RESOLUTION urging the Legislative Council to assign an interim study committee the topic of extraterritorial jurisdiction granted to municipalities under IC 36-9-2-19.

    Whereas, Municipalities have authority to regulate conduct on property as much as ten miles outside the corporate boundaries under IC 36-9-2-19;

    Whereas, Indiana citizens who reside outside those corporate boundaries have no representation in the municipal bodies that adopt the ordinances;

    Whereas, Many of these powers are also vested in other units of state and local government; and

    Whereas, It would be prudent to study the impact of this redundant authority on nonmunicipal residents and businesses: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:


    SECTION 1. That the Indiana Senate urges the Legislative Council to assign an interim study committee the topic of extraterritorial jurisdiction granted to municipalities under IC 36-9-2-19.
