Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced nine executive orders aimed at reducing government regulations, improving workforce practices, and enhancing transparency. Key initiatives include cutting 25% of state regulations by 2029, prioritizing skills-based hiring over degree requirements, and mandating in-office work for state employees by July 1. The governor also introduced plans for a public dashboard to track executive orders and a performance metrics system for state agencies. Braun emphasized that these measures aim to make Indiana government more efficient and responsive while addressing criticisms from state Democrats over his rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
