Session Sessions

100 Ways for a Bill to Die


Listen Later

There are dozens of ways for a bill to die and most of them never involve a floor vote.

At the halfway point of the Indiana legislative session, Reps. Blake Johnson and Earl Harris break down “100 Ways for a Bill to Die,” using the quiet demise of a bipartisan luxury-vehicle ban as a real-world case study.

From committee chairs refusing hearings, to amendments that sink a bill, to leadership simply declining to call a vote, this episode explains how the legislative process really works behind the scenes. The conversation also explores why time, calendars, and internal politics matter as much as policyand why it’s so hard for minority-party bills to reach the governor’s desk.

A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how laws actually get made (or don’t).
