Yesterday, in the Corrections and Criminal Law Committee, we heard from many students across Indiana college campuses about Senate Bill 74. I am very impressed with these students' advocacy on a topic that directly affects them and their fellow students. This bill will incentivize students to call 911 when they see another student in a health emergency without the fear that they will get arrested. There are many students suffering from excessive alcohol consumption, and this bill will ultimately save lives and make campuses sa#InForAllorAll
📢 This week, our leadership team met with USW District Director Mike Millsap, Assistant Director Loretta Tyler and Rapid Response Coordinator Jerome Davison to discuss the Nippon Steel merger and its impact on workers and communities in northern Indiana, as well as pending legislation being proposed this session. 🤝 We’re committed to standing with the Steelworkers and ensuring that the voices of union members are at the forefront of decisions affecting their livelihoods. Protecting well-paying jobs and supporting Indiana’s hardworking families remains a top priority. #INForAll #UnionStrong #SteelStrong

This year I want to keep YOU updated and get YOUR input in a respectful and thoughtful way. I’m going to try to highlight at least one bill per week to get your thoughts.This week, I had the opportunity to serve on the Judiciary Committee, where we reviewed several important bills. One of the bills we discussed was SB 11: Minor Access and Use of Social Media. This legislation aims to restrict access to social media for minors under the age of 16 unless they have parental permission. If passed, the bill would require age verification for all users, potentially involving the submission of a driver's license number or credit card to confirm age. I value your input and would love to hear your thoughts on this proposal. Please share your perspective in the comments below!iga.in.gov/legislative/2025/bills/senate/11/details
