Sen. Deery Shares Update

Indiana is a wonderful place to live, but we are not immune from the hazards of deadly drugs and violent crime.

Senate Bill 324 is currently making its way through the Indiana General Assembly and would increase criminal penalties for meth and fentanyl dealers. It would also require individualized bail determinations for arrestees charged with violent crimes so more scrutiny is given to whether the arrestee should be allowed back on our streets.

I supported this bill to help local law enforcement crack down on drug dealers putting dangerous substances in our communities and to help keep Hoosiers across the state safe.

SB 324 passed the Senate with bipartisan support and is now being considered by the House of Representatives.
