IN SJR0001

Amends Article 1, Section 17 of the Indiana Constitution to allow courts to deny bail for any offense (not just murder or treason) if the accused poses a substantial risk to any other person or the community

Establishes two conditions that must both be met to deny bail for non-murder/treason offenses: the proof must be evident or presumption strong, AND the state must prove by clear and convincing evidence that no release conditions will reasonably protect public safety

Represents the second passage by consecutive General Assemblies (123rd and 124th), which is required under Indiana's constitutional amendment process before the measure can go to voters

Murder and treason remain non-bailable when proof is evident or presumption strong, consistent with existing constitutional language
