Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) today announced the filing of a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana challenging Indiana’s recently promulgated statute, H.B. 1273. The Complaint contends that H.B. 1273 is an unconstitutional exercise of state power. H.B. 1273 would subject ISS to a regime of state-law mandated warnings whenever ISS recommends to its sophisticated institutional investor clients voting in a manner that runs counter to that of company management. In its filing, ISS is requesting a decision on its forthcoming motion for a preliminary injunction as applied to ISS in advance of the law’s effective date of July 1, 2026.
