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.

I am writing regarding legalization of online poker in Indiana. It is ludicrous for Indiana to have sports betting and lottery and no online poker.
Many residents love playing poker recreationally and have played in home games all their lives, but they have disabilities or mobility issues, or they do not enjoy the casino atmosphere.
I know there has been a recent scandal involving a representative and the gaming bill, but really that is nothing new to voters who are adults and know that corruption exists. The answer to corruption is to root it out and deal with it. I believe voters are mature and intelligent enough to continue to back online poker legislation.
Legislation should be brought up in the next Indiana General Assembly session. Adult residents of Indiana have waited long enough to do something they should already be able to do.

After the game, Basketball Hall of Famer (and Pacers legend) Reggie Miller sent out a post on Instagram that got a lot of attention.
Miller captioned his post: “When the series CHANGED!! Jalen Brunson you’re a true BALLER, been the best player in these playoffs, but you and your boys can all heal up together on some beautiful beaches in Cancun, please enjoy!!#PacersKnicksRivalryLives#GodDontLikeUgly“
Miller spent his entire 18-year career with Indiana, and led them to the 2000 NBA Finals (they lost to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers).
The five-time NBA All-Star had career averages of 18.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 1,389 regular season games.
As for the Pacers, they will now face off against Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics (who beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round).
Game 1 of the series will be on Tuesday evening in Boston, Massachusetts.
