STATEHOUSE (April 1, 2026) – "The Fishers community is still grieving the loss of Hailey, and her parents' courage in speaking out to protect other young Hoosiers has been incredibly moving.

We will continue working to strengthen protections for young Hoosiers and do everything we can to keep our kids safe."
