The Indiana Publisher Published alternate Thursdays Volume 78, Issue 13 • June 20, 2013 Groups meet to oppose ag gag HSPA FOUNDATION GOLF OUTING T he Hoosier State Press Association will be participating this summer in meetings of a coalition opposed to "ag-gag" legislation. The group's first meeting will be June 25. Lawmakers in several states including Indiana introduced so-called ag-gag legislation this year with the intent to halt the posting of photos or videos that portray agricultural and industrial operations in a bad light. State lawmakers brought three such bills before the 2013 session of the Indiana General Assembly. One of them, S.B. 373, died on the final night of the legislative session following multiple changes to its language as it moved through the process. State Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle, authored the bill. State Rep. Bill Friend, R-Macy, served as its House sponsor. State Rep. Don Lehe, R-Brookston, and state Sen. Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, authored the other two ag-gag bills, but only S.B. 373 moved forward in the legislature. So far only Tennessee has passed an ag-gag bill this year. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam vetoed it on May 13. Despite the Indiana bill's defeat in 2013, the topic will resurface this summer in an interim study committee. The state Legislative Council assigned an interim study committee to address the topic of "trespassing for the purpose of Rich Janzaruk, photo editor at the Times-Mail (Bedford), second from left, hit a hole-in-one on a par 4 on the 303-yard 15th hole at Southern Dunes Golf Course in Indianapolis June 6 during the HSPA Foundation's annual golf outing.
