INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Mike Braun signed two executive orders today aimed at protecting the environment while supporting Indiana’s economic growth.
Executive Order 25-38: Simplifying Regulations
This order aligns Indiana’s environmental standards with federal laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, ensuring businesses won’t face stricter regulations unless necessary. The goal is to reduce red tape and provide certainty for businesses, all while protecting natural resources.
“We can protect our environment and grow our economy by sticking to federal standards,” said Governor Braun.
Executive Order 25-37: Science, Not Politics
This order rejects politically-driven “environmental justice” initiatives, focusing instead on policies backed by sound science. The goal is to preserve Indiana’s resources while promoting growth and protecting the health of Hoosiers.
“Environmental policy should be based on science, not political agendas,” said Governor Braun.
These initiatives aim to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility in Indiana.
