Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed 67 bills Monday, including one strengthening literacy test standards for the state's grade schoolers.
Indiana Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed 67 bills on Monday, three days after lawmakers concluded their annual session. This is Holcomb’s last year as governor as he cannot run again because of term limits. Among the legislation Holcomb signed was a major item on literacy that was sought by Republicans in both chambers of the General Assembly and the governor's office.
The law includes some exceptions and establishes several early intervention processes. For example, all second-graders will be required to take the test to gauge their reading abilities. While many lawmakers and organizations supported the early intervention pieces, the retention statute of the bill was hotly contested throughout the legislative session. Holcomb also signed a bill Monday that establishes several new voter verification checks in the state.
Most laws in Indiana go into effect July 1, unless otherwise stipulated.
