State Sen. Gary Byrne (R-Byrneville) made the following statement today in response to Gov. Mike Braun's 2025 State of the State address:
STATEHOUSE (Jan. 29, 2025) — "I am pleased to see that Gov. Braun plans to be a steadfast supporter of government fiscal responsibility, promoting merit, excellence, and innovation while in office.
"I also strongly support Gov. Braun's goal to promote public safety by improving police officer recruitment and retention. In fact, I authored Senate Bill 95 to do just that.
"SB 95 would address law enforcement staffing issues by ensuring every law enforcement agency pays their fair share to train officers if they recruit them from other agencies shortly after they complete basic training.
"I look forward to working with Gov. Braun on this issue and several others during the 2025 legislative session and over the years to come."
