Attorney General Todd Rokita issues statement on Indiana House Judiciary Committee advancing the FAIRNESS Act

The FAIRNESS Act is the gold standard for state-level action on immigration across the entire nation

Attorney General Todd Rokita issued the following statement:

"Today, the House Judiciary Committee significantly amended a poor Senate version of Senate Bill 76 and advanced a substantially improved version that incorporates the stronger, more effective provisions of the FAIRNESS Act.



This improved bill would deliver meaningful enforcement for Indiana’s anti-sanctuary law, hold violators accountable, ensure illegal aliens do not undercut Hoosier workers, and directly protect Hoosier communities from the serious burdens of illegal immigration.



I commend State Rep. J.D. Prescott for his tireless work to strengthen this legislation and make it truly effective for Indiana families. I also thank Chairman Chis Jeter for hearing this legislation and everyone who testified in strong support of the amended version.



We can't afford half-measures on this issue, and no compromises should be made when it comes to mitigating the devastating effects of illegal immigration in our communities—only decisive, unequivocal action will protect public safety and put Hoosiers first.



The moment to act is now. After it gets through the House, the Senate needs to pass this version of the FAIRNESS Act without further delay and deliver the results our state deserves."
