Summary of Legislation: This bill provides that the Indiana Commission for Women, the Commission on
Hispanic/Latino Affairs, the Commission on the Social Status of Black Males, and the Native American
Indian Affairs Commission expire June 30, 2025. The bill codifies the Serve Indiana Commission established
by executive order in 2017. It authorizes the Serve Indiana Commission to study and report on topics
assigned to the expiring commissions. The bill requires the Civil Rights Commission to establish four
nonprofit corporations to serve as the successors in interest to the expired commissions. It specifies the
powers and duties of the nonprofit corporations. It provides for the transfer of accounts, property, and records
of the expiring commissions to the nonprofit corporations.
Effective Date: Upon passage; July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Expiring Commissions: Provisions in this bill expire four commissions
in FY 2026. This will reduce General Fund expenditures dependent on the amount these commissions would
have been appropriated beginning in FY 2026. [These commissions received a combined appropriation of
$479,000 in each of FY 2024 and FY 2025.]
Nonprofit Corporations: The Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) will incur short term expenses related
to establishing four nonprofit corporations. These nonprofit corporations will serve as successors to the four
cultural commissions expiring under this bill. The ICRC, Indiana Department of Administration, the Serve
Indiana Commission (Serve Indiana), and the State Comptroller will assist in transferring the accounts,
property, and records of the expiring cultural commissions to the nonprofit corporations established in this
bill. The bill’s requirements should be able to be implemented with no additional appropriations, assuming
near customary agency staffing and resource levels.
HB 1415 1 Serve Indiana: Serve Indiana was established in FY 2017 by an executive order. This bill codifies Serve
Indiana into statute with all the same duties and responsibilities. Provisions in the bill also allow Serve
Indiana to study and report on certain issues assigned to one of the expiring commissions. To the extent that
Serve Indiana chooses to study and report on additional issues, its workload would increase. The Department
of Workforce Development, which provides staff support to Serve Indiana, would also experience a workload
increase.
