The governor this morning issued notice to his cabinet agencies that the travel ban to Indiana has been rescinded.

As noted in the memo, “Governor Mike Pence signed legislation amending the law and remedying the most egregious elements of the law. The new amendment prohibits businesses and individuals from refusing service or goods to potential clients based on that client’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristics. This is a promising step toward greater cultural inclusion and acceptance for LGBT communities.”
