Introduced Version, House Bill 1100 Thanks to PSoTD for cluing me into this one. This is one of the silliest bills I’ve seen introduced to date: “Changes the statutory description of the state seal to provide that the sun is rising instead of setting.”
It doesn’t actually alter how the State Seal looks, mind you. It just amends the statute to refer to the sun behind the hills as “rising” instead of “setting.” I imagine that Reps. Messer & Bischoff have some sort of indication of Hoosier optimism in mind. (I love Hoosiers for many of their characteristics, but I haven’t noticed optimism as one of the defining characteristics of the state. Ask a Hoosier about the weather some fine, sunny day. Like as not, they’ll tell you we’re going to pay for it with some nasty weather in the future.)
