Representatives from the Indiana
House and Senate gather every Monday morning at 7:30 a.m.
throughout the legislative session. While most of the
attention that you see in the press is focused on full day
kindergarten, the budget, and cigarette tax, there is so
much more that you might not be aware of if you have
missed the 3rd House Sessions. If you haven’t been able
to attend, here is an update just a couple of bills that
you might be interested in watching.
Patent Bill- HB 1461 would expand
high tech business in Indiana by exempting income derived
from licensing or commercialization of patented technology
for businesses of 500 employees or fewer for a10 year
start up phase. This legislation is an effort to attract
smaller high-tech businesses to Indiana and expand job
creation. If passed, Indiana would hold a competitive
advantage by being the first state in nation to adopt this
legislation.
Military Family Leave- HB 1092
establishes an unpaid leave of absence for spouse or
parents of a person ordered to involuntary activity in the
United States Armed Forces or National Guard for
deployment overseas.
For more information about
legislative activity, please feel free to join us in
discussing legislation first hand with our Senator and
Representatives on Monday mornings at the 3rd House
Sessions or visit the states website at http://www.in.gov/legislative/ |
