Indiana moved one step closer Wednesday to becoming the 23rd Right to Work state in the U.S. The Indiana House of Representatives Wednesday afternoon passed the Right to Work bill on s 54-44 vote. After stalling the bill for several weeks, the Indiana Democrats returned to the Statehouse chamber and the bill was put to a vote.
The Indiana Senate had previously passed an identical version of the Right to Work Act by a 28-22 vote. The House Bill will now be referred to the Senate for consideration. The typical process is for the bill to be assigned to a committee where additional public input can be considered prior to a vote by the committee. The bill will then move to the the full Senate for further consideration including the opportunity to offer amendments and vote on its final passage. However, the Senate also has the option of suspending its rule and expediting the process so they can get the bill to Governor Mitch Daniels for signing.
