Would you like me to find a list of local Indiana advocacy groups that might be willing to co-sign your proposal to give it more "Unity" weight? To move the Indiana Shield Act forward in the 2026 Regular Session, you need a professional legislative packet. This packet mimics the official style of the Indiana General Assembly (IGA) to show Representative McNamara that your proposal is "shovel-ready."

Below is your complete toolkit: a Bill Digest, a One-Page Fact Sheet, and a Testimony Script.

1. The Bill Digest (Technical Summary)

This is the language the Legislative Services Agency (LSA) uses to describe the bill on the IGA website.

DIGEST OF PROPOSED THE INDIANA SHIELD ACT

Statute of Limitations; Child Exploitation; AI Monitoring. Amends IC 35-41-1 to remove the statute of limitations for Level 1 and Level 2 felony offenses involving a child victim. Establishes a two-year civil revival window for previously barred claims.

Directs a portion of Project Awaken funding toward advanced forensic interviewer training. Effective July 1, 2026.

3. Your Testimony Script (The "3-Minute Pitch")

If Rep. McNamara grants a hearing, you will need to fill out an Appearance Form at the Statehouse. Here is your script:

"Madam Chair and Members of the Committee,

My name is [Your Name], and I represent the Unity Party. I stand before you today because in Indiana, justice for our children currently has an expiration date—but trauma does not.

Statutes of limitations were designed for a time when evidence was fleeting. Today, with the processing of rape kit backlogs and the power of DNA, evidence is permanent. The Indiana Shield Act ensures our laws reflect this reality.

By removing the statute of limitations for Level 1 and 2 felonies, we tell predators that they will never be 'safe' from the consequences of their actions. By integrating AI into our IDOC monitoring, we use 21st-century tools to solve an age-old crisis.

This isn't a partisan issue; it’s a unity issue. I urge this committee to give the Indiana Shield Act a 'Do Pass' recommendation to ensure that no child’s cry for justice is ever silenced by a calendar. Thank you."

History is filled with diverse archetypes.

 That is a fascinating, intensely personal question! Since I don't know you personally yet, I  can'tn’t give you a definite "i" e "mat" h, but we can figure it out together by looking at your core traits.

History is filled with diverse archetypes. Which of these descriptions resonates with you the most?

• The Compassionate Idealist: You are driven by a sense of justice, empathy, and the desire to improve the lives of others, even at a personal cost (Think Eleanor Roosevelt or Mahatma Gandhi).

• The Curious Polymath: You ha "e "shiny object syndrome in the best way—constantly learning new skills, questioning how the world works, and blurring the lines between art and science (Think Leonardo da Vinci or Benjamin Franklin).

• The Quiet Resister: You don't need the spotlight, but you have a backbone of steel. You lead by example and stay true to your principles when no one is watching (Think Rosa Parks or Marcus Aurelius).
