SB0256

Indiana's SB0256, signed into law as Public Law 131, requires state contractors providing technology products or services to certify that neither they nor their subcontractors are 'prohibited persons' tied to foreign adversaries (think China, Russia, Iran, North Korea). It also restricts foreign land purchases, mandates foreign student reporting at universities, and voids government contracts with prohibited entities. Sponsored by Sen. Chris Garten and a large Republican coalition.
