Office of the Governor Outlines Lieutenant Governor Nomination and Confirmation Processes

0

Indianapolis – The Office of Governor Mike Pence today outlined the Lieutenant Governor nomination and confirmation processes, as addressed in Article 5 of the Indiana Constitution, following the official resignation of Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann this morning. Article 5, Section 10(b) of the Indiana Constitution reads, “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of Lieutenant Governor, the Governor shall nominate a Lieutenant Governor who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote in each house of the General Assembly and hold office for the unexpired term of the previous Lieutenant Governor.”

  • Pursuant to IC 5-8-3.5-1(a),  Lieutenant Governor Ellspermann delivered both a written notice of her resignation and a copy of her resignation letter to Governor Pence to the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Principal Secretary of the Senate. Following receipt, the Principal Clerk and the Principal Secretary will file a copy of the notice with the Secretary of State.
  • Within 72 hours of the receipt of the notice of the resignation, the Principal Secretary of the Senate and the Principal Clerk of the House will provide notice of the vacancy to the Governor, pursuant to IC 5-8-3.5-1(b).
  • Lieutenant Governor Ellspermann’s resignation letter, notice of resignation filed with the Secretary of State’s office, and the Notice of Vacancy delivered to the Governor will be read across the desk of the House of Representatives and Senate to place the documents into the official record.
  • A vacancy in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor will exist on March 2, 2016 beginning at 5 p.m.
  • After Lieutenant Governor Ellspermann’s resignation is effective on March 2, 2016 at 5 p.m., Governor Pence will nominate Eric Holcomb as her successor in a message to both Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and House Speaker Brian Bosma. The Governor is expected to send a written message, which will include Holcomb’s affidavit affirming compliance with constitutional eligibility requirements to become Lieutenant Governor, Wednesday evening.
  • The Governor’s message and Holcomb’s affidavit will then be read across the desk of the House and Senate.
  • Once the Governor’s message and Holcomb’s affidavit have been entered into the House and Senate record, the nomination will be confirmed through roll call votes on simple resolutions introduced by President Pro Tempore Long and Speaker Bosma in each chamber. The confirmation vote is expected to occur during the morning of Thursday, March 3rd.
  • Following the vote, the Senate will send a message to the House notifying them of the confirmation vote, and the House will send a message to the Senate notifying them of the confirmation vote.

Upon confirmation, the swearing-in ceremony is planned for March 3.

Protecting Hoosier Homes From Mine Subsidence

Protecting Hoosier Homes From Mine Subsidence

by Distract 75 State Representative Ron Bacon

Underground mines have been in use in Indiana since the early 1800s. Communities revolved around these mines, which provided economic opportunities. As technology progressed, and mines were no longer depended upon as heavily as they once were, the mines were left to erode and weaken over time. Because these mines were never surveyed, it is impossible to determine their exact locations, and mine collapses are possible.

I have witnessed multiple mine cave-ins due to a faulty structure and abandonment. A few times, I have simply noticed a small hole in the road, and when I came back a huge chunk of the road was gone. In Indiana, 26 counties are still affected by insecurely structured mines and mine subsidence. I am working on a law that would provide financial assistance and support to Hoosiers throughout Indiana who live in areas with underground coal mines.

This proposal is linked to an earlier law passed by the General Assembly in the 1980s allowing owners of dwellings or structures the ability to obtain coal mine subsidence insurance coverage. However, under this current law, only those dwellings or structures atop pre-Aug. 3, 1977 mined areas can obtain proper coverage. This bill would expand the coverage to owners of homes built after Aug. 3, 1977. It also would provide protections for municipal buildings like courthouses and fire stations by allowing them to obtain coverage in case of damage due to a collapsing and abandoned coal mine.

If a person’s house is damaged by a collapse of an underground mine, this bill would provide the opportunity to obtain coverage for living expenses while they are displaced from their home and damages are repaired. Lastly, it protects the Department of Natural Resources’ Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund dedicated to mine subsidence damage from inactive underground coal mines abandoned before Aug. 3, 1977.

After being approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, Senate Bill 336 can now be signed into law by the governor. Please contact me with questions or input at (317) 232-9833 or email, h75@iga.in.gov.

Eagles To Play Knights In GLVC Quarterfinals

The eighth-seeded University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team will play top-seeded Bellarmine University at noon Friday in the quarterfinals of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament at Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri. All-Tournament passes are $38, while adults and seniors tickets are $18 and students with a valid ID are admitted for $11 each day.

Tickets can be purchase directly through Family Arena by phone (314-534-1111) and online . Fans also can purchase tickets through MetroTix.com by phone (800-293-5949) and online.

In addition to the USI-Bellarmine quarterfinal game, the remaining quarterfinal games are scheduled to follow at 2:30 p.m. (fifth-seeded Lewis University vs. fourth-seeded University of Indianapolis), 6 p.m. (seventh-seeded Quincy University vs. second-seeded Drury University) and 8:30 p.m. (sixth-seeded Truman State University vs. third-seeded University of Wisconsin-Parkside). The men’s portion of the tournament continues Saturday with the semifinals at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., while the championship game is slated for Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

The match-up between the Screaming Eagles (19-10) and Knights (22-5) will be their second meeting in a little more than a week. USI defeated ninth-ranked Bellarmine in overtime, 89-82, last Thursday behind the double-double performance (19 points and 15 rebounds) of junior forward T.J. Tisdell (Cape Girardeau, Missouri).

USI earned the right to play Bellarmine in the quarterfinals by posting an 86-72 victory over Rockhurst University in the first round of the GLVC Tournament at the Physical Activities Center Sunday afternoon. Tisdell led USI with a season-high 22 points, while junior guard Jeril Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky) posted his fifth double-double of the year with 19 points and 14 rebounds.
