Summary

The law adds new rules that prevent Indiana state agencies and local governments from contracting for certain information‑technology, surveillance, LIDAR, or AI products and services unless the contractor and its subcontractors are not owned or controlled by a listed foreign adversary. It also creates a legal framework defining foreign agents, covered foreign principals, affiliates of foreign terrorist organizations, and foreign‑supported political groups.
