INDIANAPOLIS – Today a court heard arguments in a legal challenge to Indiana’s new school vouchers law, House Enrolled Act 1003 (Public Law 92). Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s office is defending the new state statute from the plaintiffs’ legal challenge.
“In defending the state law, we contend Hoosiers’ elected representatives in the Legislature followed the Constitution when they devised a system for the benefit of students that offers families more educational options. Using the new state choice scholarships, more than 150 students already have enrolled in different accredited schools that start this week; and any injunction would be extremely disruptive to their education while this litigation is pending,†Zoeller said.
In Marion County Civil Superior Court 7 today, Indiana Solicitor General Thomas M. Fisher argued the State’s case in opposition to the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Judge Michael Keele took the case of Meredith v. Daniels under advisement and will rule at a later date.
