Leising: Bill Protecting Indiana Land Signed into Law

The law prevents individuals from certain countries from obtaining land near a military base in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS – A bill sponsored by State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) that protects farmland and land around military bases in Indiana from adversarial nations was signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

House Enrolled Act 1183 prevents individuals, with some exceptions, from countries the U.S. Department of Commerce defines as adversarial states from obtaining farmland and land within a 10-mile radius of a military base in Indiana.

Currently, individuals who are not dual citizens that would be prevented from obtaining farmland in Indiana are those from Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela. Additionally, individuals who are not dual citizens that would be prevented from obtaining land near a military base in Indiana are currently those from Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

“When individuals from adversarial states purchase land in Indiana, it becomes a homeland security risk that affects our state – and by default, our country,” Leising said. ” By passing this bill, the state can better protect our communities, military bases, economy and food supply chain from threats.”

This legislation will go into effect July 1, 2024.

Cal Poly Wrestling dominated by No. 30 Indiana in season opener – Mustang News

Redshirt junior heavyweight Trevor Tinker capped off Cal Poly Wrestling’s season opener against No. 30 Indiana with a technical fall victory against another top-ranked opponent.

Still, it wasn’t enough, as the Hoosiers (2-0) dominated the Mustangs (0-1) 31-11 on Sunday at Mott Athletics Center.

Tinker came into the dual as FloWrestling’s No. 17 ranked heavyweight in the nation and handled No. 19 ranked Jacob Bullock in a 17-1 technical fall.

Tinker was one of three Mustangs to record a win in Sunday’s dual.

The others were redshirt sophomore 133-pounder Zeth Romney and No. 9 ranked 149-pounder and redshirt junior Chance Lamer.

Romney put the Mustangs on the board with a 7-3 decision win over his opponent before Chance took a 4-1 decision with a takedown in the final 30 seconds of the match.

No. 13 ranked 174-pounder and graduate Adam Kemp came up short in a close 2-1 decision to an unranked opponent.

Kemp suffered a lower right leg injury during the match, but the severity remains unknown.

Redshirt sophomore transfer Korbin Shepherd made his Cal Poly debut at 141 pounds but fell in a 17-2 technical fall.

Next, the Mustangs will travel to Kansas City, MO to compete in the Tiger Style Invite on Saturday, Nov. 9.
