"Our state and local health administrators have worked admirably through a pandemic that has continued for more than a year. This law ensures local elected officials have oversight as city and county public health departments consider orders during a public health emergency that can profoundly impact Hoosiers' freedoms. This practice is already done at the state level, when the state health commissioner makes recommendations and the governor then issues an executive order. Communities can still choose to enforce measures that are stricter than ones by the state. But it's essential that Hoosiers have a voice representing them when orders from appointed officials greatly restrict where they can go or how a business operates."
