The House Courts and Criminal Code Committee heard SB 175 sponsored by Rep. Steuerwald on credit time. This bill is intended to resolve conflicts in the interpretation of the various credit time terms used throughout the Indiana Code. Rep. Pierce introduced an amendment, adopted by consent, specifying that this bill (1) clarifies current law and does not create new law, (2) does not impact sentences imposed prior to July 1, 2015, and (3) codifies case law on the applicability of credit time in the home detention arena specifying that home detention as a condition of probation is eligible for credit time but home detention as a condition of pretrial release is not eligible for credit time. The amended bill passed 9-0.
