One thought on “Indiana aims to keep closer eye on mergers, acquisitions

  1. Instead of a blanket $10 million threshold to trigger notification to the state about a merger or acquisition (a one-size-fits-all red line), the legislation should have adopted a threshold commensurate with the population of the county where the entity is located. This would have set a lower bar for smaller rural counties and a higher one for larger urban counties.
