PROPOSAL NO. 75, 2020. The proposal, sponsored by Councillors Adamson, Barth, Boots,

Brown, Carlino, Graves, J. Evans, Jackson, Jones, McCormick, Oliver, Potts and E. Evans, supports

the announced policy of the Marion County Prosecutor's Office to no longer prosecute simple

possession of marijuana offenses. The Councillors read the proposal and presented William Henry,

Chairman of the Indiana Chapter for Reform of Marijuana Laws, and Prosecutor Ryan Mears with

copies of the document and Council pins. Mr. Henry thanked the Council for the support.

Councillor Adamson moved, seconded by Councillor Potts, for adoption. Proposal No. 75, 2020

was adopted by a unanimous voice vote.



A SPECIAL RESOLUTION in support of the announced policy of the Marion County Prosecutor's Office to no longer

prosecute simple possession of marijuana offenses

WHEREAS, 33 states, including the bordering state of Ohio, have legalized medical marijuana, and 11 states,

including the bordering states of Michigan and Illinois, have fully legalized the recreational use of marijuana, with several

more states likely to follow suit in the near future; and

WHEREAS, a poll last year by Ball State University’s Bowen Center for Public Affairs found that 80% of Indiana

adults favor medical marijuana use, with a mere 16% backing Indiana's current total prohibition of marijuana; and

WHEREAS, marijuana is one of the oldest agricultural commodities not grown for food, and has been used

medicinally all over the world since at least 2700 B.C.; and


10

WHEREAS, the cannabis plant was previously grown widely in the United States and Indiana, was used commonly

as a component in fabrics during the middle of the 19th century, and was manufactured, advertised, and sold as a treatment

for a variety of ailments by merchants and pharmacies, including Indiana’s own Eli Lilly & Co., until 1937, when the

Marijuana Tax Act placed a large tariff on the production of cannabis, rendering its sale non-profitable; and

WHEREAS, it was only in the early part of the 20th century that marijuana began to be criminalized, mainly because

of misinformation and hysteria based at least in part on racially biased stereotypes connecting marijuana use and

minorities, particularly African Americans and Latinos; and

WHEREAS, the same racial animus motivating enactment of these laws has also led to the racially unequal

enforcement of such laws, which has had a substantial, negative impact on minority communities; thus, an American

Civil Liberties Union study, analyzing federal data, found that blacks were at least 3.7 times more likely than whites to

be arrested for marijuana-related offenses, even though there is no discernible difference in marijuana usage between

whites and non-whites; and

WHEREAS, the collateral consequences of a conviction for marijuana possession, and even for a mere arrest, can

be devastating, and may complicate the obtaining of education loans, securing meaningful employment, maintaining a

professional license, securing long-term housing, receiving government assistance, or even adopting a child; and

WHEREAS, prosecuting minor victimless marijuana possession offenses involving an ounce or less of marijuana,

with all the attendant collateral harms associated with such prosecutions, is unjust, harmful, and simply not good public

policy; and

WHEREAS, because of concerns that minorities in Marion County were being arrested disproportionately for

marijuana law violations, and that continuing to prosecute the simple possession of an ounce or less of marijuana was

draining valuable, yet scarce, public resources, such as tying up police officers and prosecutors in court proceedings and

detracting from their ability to investigate and prosecute violent and other serious crimes, current Marion County

Prosecutor Ryan Mears publicly announced on September 30, 2019, that his office would exercise its inherent

prosecutorial discretion in no longer prosecuting cases involving the simple possession and non-public consumption of

one ounce or less of marijuana; and

WHEREAS, since the announcement of this policy, more than 325 cases involving simple possession of marijuana

have been dismissed by Prosecutor Mears's office with no discernible adverse effect on the public safety in Indianapolis;

now therefore:



SECTION 1. The Indianapolis/Marion County City- County Council endorses, ratifies, and supports, the announced

policy of the Marion County Prosecutor's Office to no longer prosecute simple possession of marijuana offenses involving

one ounce or less, and to dismiss pending criminal charges filed against Marion County citizens for simple possession

that qualify for dismissal under this new policy.

SECTION 2. The Council commends Prosecutor Mears for his commitment to racial justice equity, and for his common-

sense and fiscally-sound approach to law enforcement in our great City of Indianapolis.



{Clerk’s Note: This proposal was not signed by the Mayor and therefore is not in effect.}

PROPOSAL NO. 85, 2020. The proposal, sponsored by All Councillors, makes a public

Graves moved, seconded by Councillor Adamson, for adoption. Proposal No. 85, 2020 was

A SPECIAL RESOLUTION in support of a public commitment to addressing the historical inequities of race, place and

identity throughout our City-County government

WHEREAS, a Steering Committee comprised of municipal leaders has been tasked with developing a strategy to

end racial disparities in Indianapolis, and directing City and County departments and other agencies to use available tools

to assist in the elimination of racial and social disparities across key indicators of success, including health, education,

criminal justice, the environment, employment and the economy; and to promote equity within the City-County

workplace and in the delivery of City-County services.

WHEREAS, legislative reforms such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 have been adopted banning discrimination

because of a person's color, race, national origin, religion, or sex and have supported progress towards racial and social

justice; and

WHEREAS, “equality” is enshrined in the founding documents of our nation as one of the highest ideals in

American culture, yet race nevertheless can predict one’s success on any and all indicators for success in Indianapolis

and around the country, where equity of opportunity and outcomes remain elusive for far too many; and

WHEREAS, understanding the difference between equality and equity is important to ensure public policy and

resources are directed appropriately. Equity is not achieved by treating everyone equally; rather, eliminating racial and

social disparities requires that policies are implemented and resources distributed in a way that justly addresses the

underlying issues and needs of underserved and vulnerable populations among us; and

WHEREAS, income inequality is a root cause of many disparities we find in our community; and

WHEREAS, minority populations in Indianapolis are far more likely to be the victims of violent crime than white

residents and are over-represented in the city’s population of homeless and incarcerated persons, are more likely to live

in areas without access to adequate transportation or fresh, nutritious food; and

WHEREAS, black and Latinx residents comprise one fifth of Central Indiana's population but only a tenth of home

loan applications, are twice as likely to be denied a mortgage as white applicants, and half as likely to own a home; and

WHEREAS, the poverty rate for black households in Marion County is more than twice the rate for white households

and the rate for Latinx households is almost three times the rate for white households; and

WHEREAS, the median income for black and Latinx households is roughly 60% of the median income for white

households; and

WHEREAS, racial and social disparities for all minorities, LGBTQ citizens, and the very poor continue to exist

across key indicators of success in Indianapolis, including health, education, criminal justice, the environment,

employment and the economy; and

WHEREAS, good government is impossible without racial and social equity. People of all races, faiths, origins,

genders, and identities own our democracy equally and have an equal stake in its success; and

WHEREAS, in 2019, more than 100 local leaders from all three branches of local government, including Mayor

Hogsett and members of his administration, members of our City-County Council, members of the Marion Superior

Court executive committee, county-wide elected officials, leaders of local municipal corporations and criminal justice

agencies, and representatives from anchor institutions IUPUI and Central Indiana Community Foundation were convened

for a workshop with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity; and


12

WHEREAS, two dozen of those leaders, including representatives of this body, county-wide elected officials, and

leaders/principals from the Administration, the Marion County Prosecutor’s office, the Marion County Sheriff’s

Department, our Municipal Corporations and the Marion Superior Court have now stepped forward to form a Steering

Committee and assume responsibility for advancing the work to end racial and social disparities in Indianapolis, and

embed in our collective DNA a commitment to addressing historical inequities surrounding race, place and identity

throughout Indianapolis; and

WHEREAS, this Council reaffirms its commitment to principles of equality and freedom for all people regardless

of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, ability, and national origin; and

WHEREAS, the City Council declares racism unjust, supports equal rights for all, and affirms the City's commitment

to ending disparities based on race, place, or identity; now, therefore,



SECTION 1. The City-County government of Indianapolis can and will collaborate with partners to prioritize dismantling

institutional and structural racism and bias and set our city on an accelerated path toward vibrant growth for all.

SECTION 2. The principles of inclusiveness and respect are values that can create a healthier and more productive

workplace, improve customer service, and drive policies and outcomes that benefit the entire city.

SECTION 3. The Steering Committee is tasked with developing and implementing an infrastructure to further promote

racial and social equity across both the City and County and within each department, so that these efforts are fully

integrated into departmental work and into our policies, programs and procedures.

SECTION 4. City and County departments should use all available tools to work to eliminate disparities based on race,

place, or identity across key indicators of success, including health, education, criminal justice, the environment,

employment and the economy; and to promote racial and social equity in the delivery of City and County services. This

work may include implementation of racial equity tools in budget, program and policy decisions, including review of

existing programs and policies.

SECTION 5. Municipal systems that were created in the past to explicitly or implicitly maintain racial inequities will be

redesigned to build and sustain equity around race, place, and identity for all the residents of our beautiful city.

SPECIAL ORDERS - PUBLIC HEARING



Councillor Osili, approves an additional appropriation of $250,000 in the 2020 Budget of the Office

of Public Health and Safety (Consolidated County General Fund), Character 03, to be used to

contract legal and informational services for initiatives related to tenants' rights. By a 7-3-1 vote,

the Committee reported the proposal to the Council with the recommendation that it do pass.

President Osili called for public testimony at 8:21 p.m.

State Representative Robin Shackelford stated that tenant rights have been overlooked for far too

long, and Indianapolis is 14th in the nation for eviction rates. She applauds and supports Proposal

Nos. 40 and 41, 2020, because they provide protections that families and friends deserve. She said

that she offered legislation to extend tenant rights, but it was not heard by the deadline, and now

the State Legislature is attempting to remove an amendment offered to Senate Bill 340 today which

would ban local governments from enacting their own legislation. She said that both sides of

Market Street must work together to protect the citizens.

John Larrimore, Indiana Legal Services, said that his organization represents more evicted tenants

than any other organization, and expenditures of this sort save money in the long run, by keeping

families from being evicted and additional shelter costs.

Cassie Nielson, Indiana Bar Association, said that the legal community supports this initiative and

it is a much-needed reform. She said that they pledge to provide legal services for this initiative.

Julian Harrell, Marion County Bar Association, said that they pledge full support for this initiative,

and it is a fundamental right for citizens to have access to affordable and safe housing. This will

help minimize evictions, help to determine what children can become, and take a step toward

addressing injustice.

Carl Pebworth, Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath, said that their attorneys and paralegals are willing

to volunteer their time, offer training, and approach other legal firms for additional pro-bono help.

He said that they are enthusiastic about the Mayor’s and Council’s leadership in this effort to

leverage resources.

February 24, 2020

Dee Ross, Ross Foundation, said that he helps to oversee the tenant’s rights union, and he has seen

families evicted on the basis of race, watched families struggle living with mold and animal feces

on the walls, and so much more. He said that slumlords create barriers for the impoverished to

thrive. This is not just about people not paying their rent, but it has a direct correlation to crime,

poverty and homelessness. These individuals do not know their rights and they are being mistreated

and bullied. If a landlord is treating their tenants right in the first place, then they should not oppose

residents knowing their rights. He said that he will continue to organize tenants to fight for their

rights.

Amy Nelson, executive director for the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana, said that this

initiative is needed to help eliminate housing discrimination and the fear of retaliation for

addressing problems. She said she is proud of this effort and supports the proposal.

Rob Evans, executive vice president of the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Parntership

(INHP), said all residents should have the opportunity to live in a safe and decent home, and all

renters have the right to be informed consumers. He said that INHP supports this proposal.

Mandala Moyer, Agency on Aging, said that he represents long-time renters and tries to inform

seniors of their rights. He is disappointed at the actions taken at the State House today, and he

supports this initiative.

Brandon Beuler, Housing Well Center, said that there is an imbalance between landlords and

tenants and landlords have access to lawyers, but tenants do not even have access to their rights, let

alone attorneys. When tenants have lawyers, their chances of keeping their homes increase. He

said that they need to give poor families a fair shake. Some tenants are being cited by the Health

Department for unsafe living conditions and evicted, when the landlords should be the ones held

responsible.

Mike Chateron, citizen, stated that he runs a homeless shelter for kids and families. He said that

they have to turn away 10 to 30 families a day, due to no room. He said that Indianapolis has the

second most evictions in the nation, more than Chicago, Los Angeles, and Topeka combined,

second only to New York. He said 20% of tenants who are evicted have a just case, where lawyers

could have helped them. He said that there is an effort by churches and synagogues to open up and

house these folks when the shelters are full.

Rev. David Berry, associate pastor, Second Presbyterian Church, said that they house families in

need and also help to provide utility and rent assistance, but these individuals could really use legal

assistance. He said that they should govern following decency and order, and these proposals will

help to act in a transparent, ethical and just way.

Councillor Johnson asked if any members of the apartment association are in attendance. Seeing

none, he said that these individuals testified in committee, but have obviously spent all day at the

other end of Market Street trying to take the power away from local government. These individuals


28

should have showed up this evening to get something done now in this City instead of lobbying the

State House.

Councillor Potts said that this challenge affects the entire city and disproportionately affects

communities of color. Proposal No. 85, 2020 passed unanimously earlier this evening, and he will

play his part in addressing these inequities and hopes his colleagues will follow suit.

Councillor Mowery said that this is not just about getting tenants notice of their rights, but the issue

is in putting landlords in a guilty until proven innocent category with the courts. In a case where a

landlord truly has a delinquent or destructive tenant, they will be hampered from evicting them. He

said that this is not a lot of money, but he feels it is a stepping stone for an unfunded mandate, and

they should work through this in the budget process.

Councillor Adamson said that moving around between houses and shelters, changing schools, and

not having a stable home life, can affect the lives and futures of children, and they should also

consider this aspect as they vote today.

Councillor Brown said that Indianapolis is number 2 in the country for evictions, and Lawrence, an

excluded city is 41st in the nation. The number one issue kids in school are facing are parents who

are unable to maintain stable housing. They need to take steps to give kids a stable place to live,

making Indianapolis a better place to grow up.

Councillor Hart said that in any socio-economic issue, they want to help communities to grow, but

the question is do they want community or chaos. He said that he wants people to be in homes,

and therefore he supports Proposal No. 41, 2020. However, he thinks Proposal No. 40, 2020 should

have been better vetted, since they have supposedly been working on this since 2018 with Indiana

legal aid.

Councillor J. Evans said that he learned about the opposition on Market Street earlier today and

there is so much talk about violence in the City, and housing instability contributes to that crime

and violence. Children are being brought up without hope, and this contributes to more violence.

He said that he is disturbed about the individuals opposing the funding, when they supposedly

wanted to create a commission to address crime. That starts right here with a yes vote on both

issues.

Councillor Mowery said that a commission does not cost anything, and if SB 340 goes into effect

and makes this ordinance null, then what happens to that money that was appropriated. Matt Giffin,

Deputy Director, Office of Public Health and Safety, said that Proposal No. 41, 2020 would be nul

and void, but Proposal No. 40, 2020 would not, and they could still use this funding to assist tenants.

Councillor Brown urged everyone to contact their legislators and let them know of their opposition

to SB 340.

February 24, 2020

29

Councillor Adamson said that one of the mayoral candidates in the recent city election holds a high

rank in the Indiana Senate, and he hopes his newfound affection for this city will be expressed to

defend residents from unfair treatment from the housing industry.

Councillor Gray said that they have the votes to pass these initiatives, and they cannot control what

Market Street does, and can only do what they have to do and what they can do.

Councillor Boots asked for consent to abstain from voting to avoid the appearance of a conflict of

interest. Consent was given.

Councillor Robinson moved, seconded by Councillor Adamson, for adoption. Proposal No. 40,

2020 was adopted on the following roll call vote; viz:

Proposal No. 41, 2020 was retitled GENERAL ORDINANCE NO. 1, 2020, and reads as follows:

CITY-COUNTY GENERAL ORDINANCE NO. 1, 2020

PROPOSAL FOR A GENERAL ORDINANCE to add Chapter 582, Protection of Tenants’ Rights, to the Revised Code.

WHEREAS, Indiana law and the Marion County health and housing code guarantee tenants in leased rental units certain

basic standards of habitability, and grant other protections relating to privacy and non-discrimination; and

WHEREAS, despite these protections, many tenants in Marion County lack information on their rights or do not feel

empowered to exercise their rights because they lack options or because of the threat of eviction or retaliation; and

WHEREAS, substandard housing conditions pose serious threats to the health and safety of tenants and can cause the

deterioration of community fabric and other harmful consequences, while eviction and housing instability are associated

reduced eligibility for public housing, depressed credit scores, harm to job prospects, and lasting effects on mental health,

physical well-being, and family unity; and

WHEREAS, promoting access to accurate information about tenant rights and responsibilities, connecting tenants

to resources to help exercise their rights, and prohibiting certain forms of landlord retaliation and discrimination can help

address these issues faced by tenants; now, therefore:

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY-COUNTY COUNCIL OF THE


SECTION 1. The Revised Code of the Consolidated City and County is hereby amended to add Chapter 582, “Protection of

Tenants’ Rights,” reading as follows:

Chapter 582: Protection of Tenants’ Rights

Sec. 582-101. Findings and Purpose

The City-County Council finds that many tenants in Indianapolis live in rental housing units that fail to comply with

their right to safe and habitable housing under state law and the Marion County health and housing code. Tenants are


32

often unaware of their rights and lack the resources and legal assistance necessary to exercise those rights. The purpose

of this ordinance is to require landlords to give tenants notice of their rights and responsibilities, connect tenants to legal

assistance where necessary to vindicate their rights and avoid eviction, protect tenants from retaliation for exercising

their rights, and prohibit discrimination against applicants for housing based on expunged or sealed criminal convictions.

Sec. 582-102. Definitions

For purposes of this Chapter:

Landlord has the meaning set forth in Ind. Code § 32-31-3-3. If multiple persons or entities satisfy the definition

of landlord as to a rental unit, then the person who is primarily responsible for receiving rent shall be considered the

landlord for the purposes of Section 103 of this Chapter.

Rental unit has the meaning set forth in Ind. Code § 32-31-3-8, except that an owner-occupied structure that:

(1) Has no portion of the area thereof promised for the use of a residential tenant, or

(2) Has a single sleeping unit being rented to a tenant,

shall not be considered a "Rental Unit."

In addition, a property that is booked for rental to the public or rented to the public only for a rental period of less

than thirty (30) consecutive days at any one time through a “short term rental platform,” as that term is defined by

Indiana Code § 36-1-24-7, shall not be considered a “rental unit.”:

Tenant has the meaning set forth in Ind. Code § 32-31-3-10, except that references to a singular tenant in this

chapter refer collectively to all individuals within a household who satisfy the definition of Ind. Code § 32 -31-3-10.

All requirements pertaining to a “tenant” may be satisfied by fulfilling the requirement with respect to at least one

adult individual in a household of multiple tenants.

Sec. 582-103. Notice of Tenant’s Rights and Responsibilities

a. After July 1, 2020, the landlord of a rental unit shall provide to each tenant, no later than 10 days after the

commencement of tenancy, a Notice of Tenant Rights and Responsibilities (for purposes of this chapter, the

“Notice”). The Notice must conform substantially to the form found in the Appendix, must contain at least

the information set forth in the form found in the Appendix, and must provide the toll-free telephone number

for the Tenant Information Hotline established pursuant to Section 104 of this Chapter and accurate

information concerning its operating hours. The tenant must review, sign, and date the Notice, return the

original signed copy to the landlord, and be provided a copy of the signed and dated Notice for the tenant’s

records.

b. After July 1, 2020, a new Notice must be provided to a tenant within 10 days before or after the renewal date

of a tenant’s lease. The tenant must review, sign, and date the Notice, return the original signed copy to the

landlord, and be provided a copy of the signed and dated Notice for the tenant’s records.

c. The landlord of a residential unit must maintain on file the tenant’s signed and dated copy of the most recent

Notice provided to each tenant until at least 60 days after the end of the tenant’s tenancy or until the Notice is

superseded by a lease renewal.

d. The Department of Business and Neighborhood Services may require any landlord, upon registering with the

City’s Landlord Registration Program or making an annual registration renewal pursuant to Revised Code §

851-104, to furnish to the Department signed copies of a Notice for each current tenant. The Department of

Business and Neighborhood services may also demand of any landlord, at any time, proof that the landlord

has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) through (c) as to each tenant.

e. A landlord who fails to comply with subsection (d) is subject to a penalty of $500 for each rental unit as to

which the landlord is unable to furnish a Notice signed by the rental unit’s current tenant.

f. The Office of Public Health and Safety shall publish, on or before May 1, 2020, a Form Notice on its website

that may be downloaded and printed for distribution by landlords. The Office of Public Health and Safety

shall also make available paper copies of the Form Notice upon request from any landlord, free of charge.

The Form Notice shall conform to the contents found in the Appendix, and shall include the toll-free

telephone number for the Tenant Information Hotline established pursuant to Section 104 of this Chapter and

accurate information concerning its operating hours. Use of the Form Notice itself is not mandatory but will

satisfy the requirements of subsections (a) and (b).

February 24, 2020

g. After May 1, 2020, the Office of Public Health and Safety may publish a revised or updated version of the

Form Notice. Beginning 90 days after such publication, all new Notices provided to tenants pursuant to

subsections (a) and (b) must conform substantially to the additional or revised contents of such a revised

Form Notice.

h. Notwithstanding subsection (a), a notice mandated by the Indianapolis Housing Agency (IHA) for landlord

distribution to tenants will satisfy the requirements of this Section, provided that the IHA-mandated notice’s

contents are substantially similar to the published Form Notice and the IHA-mandated notice provides the

toll-free telephone number for the Tenant Information Hotline established pursuant to Section 104 of this

Chapter and accurate information concerning its operating hours.

Sec. 582-104. Establishment of Tenant Information Hotline

The City, acting through the Office of Public Health and Safety, is directed to establish, or contract with a third party

to establish, a Tenant Information Hotline, and to publicly post its phone number and hours of availability. The Tenant

Information Hotline will not provide legal advice to any caller, but Hotline staff may refer callers to any legal assistance

program that the City, acting through the Office of Public Health and Safety, may establish in partnership with community

legal organizations. The telephone number for the Tenant Information Hotline shall be included in the Notice provided

to tenants pursuant to Section 103 of this Chapter. The City shall fund the Tenant Information Hotline for a pilot period

of at least one year and shall collect all data necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

Sec. 582-105. Retaliation Prohibited

a. It is prohibited for any landlord to take any adverse action against a tenant in retaliation for:

(1) The tenant’s use of the Tenant Information Hotline;

(2) The tenant’s seeking or obtaining legal or non-legal assistance in connection with the tenant’s

legal rights under Indiana law, including but not limited to Indiana Code Chapters 32-31-7 and

32-31-8;

(3) The tenant’s communication with the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services to

report a landlord’s violation of the requirements of Section 103 of this Chapter;

(4) The tenant’s request for inspection or other communication, or an attorney’s request for

inspection or other communication on the tenant’s behalf, with the Marion County Public

Health Department concerning the conditions of the tenant’s rental unit; or

(5) The tenant’s communication with the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services in

connection with the Indianapolis Landlord Registry established under Chapter 851 of the

Revised Code.

b. For purposes of this section, a landlord engages in an “adverse action” when the landlord brings or threatens

to bring an action for possession of the tenant’s residential rental unit, brings or threatens to bring an

emergency possessory order action, raises or threatens to raise the tenant’s rent, adversely alters the living

conditions of the tenant’s rental unit, or otherwise treats the tenant in a materially different manner from other

tenants who are similarly situated.

c. For purposes of this section, a landlord’s adverse action against a tenant shall be considered to be retaliation

for any of the protected tenant activities listed in subsection (a) if there is a causal link between the protected

tenant activity and the adverse action, regardless of whether the protected tenant activity is the sole cause of

the adverse action.

d. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that an adverse action is retaliatory if

(1) it occurs within 60 days after tenant engages in any of the protected activities listed in subsection

(a); or

(2) no other material change in the landlord-tenant relationship has occurred in the time between the

tenant’s engaging in any of the protected activities listed in subsection (a) and the landlord’s

adverse action.

e. A landlord who retaliates against a tenant in violation of this section shall be assessed a penalty of $2,500 for

a first violation as to each tenant, and $7,500 for any subsequent violation as to the same tenant.


34

Sec. 582-106. Discrimination against tenants or applicants for housing with expunged or sealed convictions

prohibited.

a. It shall be a discriminatory practice under the Indianapolis Equal Opportunity Ordinance, Revised Code § 581-

103, for any owner, landlord, real estate broker, or real estate salesperson or agent, acting in such a capacity in

the ordinary course of his or her business or occupation, to deny any application for housing in a rental unit, to

bring or threaten to bring an action for possession of an existing tenant’s residential rental unit, or otherwise to

deny equal treatment to any existing tenant or applicant for housing, on the basis of any criminal conviction

that has been expunged or sealed pursuant to Indiana Code Chapter 35-38-9.

b. The Office of Equal Opportunity is empowered to receive, investigate, and adjudicate complaints of

discriminatory practices prohibited by this section in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 581,

Article IV of the Revised Code.

c. Nothing in this section shall be construed to conflict with the protections for tenants who are victims of family

violence, sexual violence, and stalking set forth in Indiana Code Chapter 32-31-9.

SECTION 2. The expressed or implied repeal or amendment by this ordinance of any other ordinance or part of any other

ordinance does not affect any rights or liabilities accrued, penalties incurred, or proceedings begun prior to the effective date

of this ordinance. Those rights, liabilities, and proceedings are continued, and penalties shall be imposed and enforced under

the repealed or amended ordinance as if this ordinance had not been adopted.

SECTION 3. Should any provision (section, paragraph, sentence, clause, or any other portion) of this ordinance be declared

by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid for any reason, the remaining provision or provisions shall not be affected,

if and only if such remaining provisions can, without the invalid provision or provisions, be given the effect intended by the

Council in adopting this ordinance. To this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable.

SECTION 4. This ordinance shall be in effect from and after its passage by the Council and compliance with Indiana Code §

36-3-4-14.
