While not a political person, I am hoping that everyone in Indiana contacts their state representatives to get this passed.
Indiana is one of four states that is pursuing this action: Indiana (HB 1415), Kansas (HB 2416), Ohio (HB 639) and Oklahoma (SB 1195). Hoping everyone in the other three states acts on this as well.
This is currently the law already in Iowa and North Carolina.
