Governor Mike Braun spotlighted two new public safety bills into law on Wednesday during a ceremonial bill signing.
One of the new laws limits who can post bail.
Starting July 1st, charitable groups won’t be allowed to bail out people accused of violent crimes or those with repeat violent arrests.
The law also targets domestic violence cases.
Judges will be asked to consider ankle monitors for people charged with domestic violence who also have a history of violent offenses and at least one conviction for invasion of privacy.
Braun also signed House Enrolled Act 1014, which adds immigration status as a factor during sentencing.
It also bans government funding or hosting of “obscene performances” and allows people to sue if that rule is broken.
