A new Indiana law aims to prevent foreign adversaries from accessing state resources or forming partnerships with local governments. Co-sponsored by State Rep. Andrew Ireland and signed ceremonially by the governor on May 13, Senate Enrolled Act 256 introduces strict safeguards for land ownership and institutional cooperation.

Indiana legislators have introduced new measures aimed at expanding affordable childcare across the state. Initiatives include increasing tax credits for employers providing child care benefits and allocating additional funds toward child care vouchers for low-income families.

Governor Mike Braun has signed multiple bills into law aimed at improving health care access, child safety measures, family support systems, addiction recovery oversight, consumer protection at medical spas—and more—co-authored by State Rep. Lori Goss-Reaves. The new laws are designed to provide meaningful protections while reducing barriers faced by Hoosier families.
