Governor signs ban on Indiana companies forcibly microchipping their employees

[TexasTowelie]

It's official — Indiana companies cannot require their workers to be forcibly microchipped as a condition of employment.

Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed into law House Enrolled Act 1143 Wednesday. The new statute takes effect July 1.

It prohibits employers from mandating the implantation of any identity or tracking device in a worker or job candidate, unless the person voluntarily consents to having something put into their body.

An Indiana employer who ignores the prohibition can be sued by an employee or prospective employee for actual damages, court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
