Background

He authored the foundational law for Indiana's comprehensive criminal code revision — the most significant rewrite in decades — and currently serves as Majority Caucus Chair and on the House Courts and Criminal Code Committee (Sources 1, 13). In the 2025 session, Steuerwald was appointed as a House advisor and then elevated to conferee for SB 289, the DEI prohibition bill.
