More to come

Democratic Legislators changed part of the language of the bill before the final vote, so the Bill will not be eligible for vote again until 2016 due to Indiana's requirements of passing 2 sessions of the house and senate unchanged prior to voting. Complicated, sorry if i'm not clear.

In any case, a lawsuit has been filed in Indana by 2 couples challanging the current ban same sex marriage, so the law being considered might be a moot point if the Federal Judge strikes
down the current restriction as unconstitutional before the vote can be taken.
