A bill that would strengthen consumer rights in Indiana is awaiting Governor Holcomb’s signature. Under the proposed legislation, businesses would be required to have data protection assessment and security checks. Under current Indiana law, businesses only alert consumers about security breaches that have placed their personal information in jeopardy. Senate Enrolled Act 5 will allow consumers to protect themselves before a breach occurs by requiring companies to delete their information from the company’s database completely, if they make a formal request. Five states have passed similar legislation, but consumer data privacy laws are only in effect in two states.

Richmond Mayor Dave Snow says owner Seth Smith ignored the city’s orders to clean up the property, which he says was a known fire hazard.

Smith and Cornerstone Trading Group sued the city but lost their lawsuit in 2020.
