[edit] Indiana bill to impose access penalties in jeopardy

"A bill that would allow fines against government workers who blatantly violate Indiana's public access laws is in jeopardy.

The state Senate unanimously approved the bill, which supporters say would put much-needed teeth into Indiana's open door and public records laws. But a House committee chairman said Tuesday that he doesn't plan to give the bill a hearing before a key deadline this week."
