Last week, the state House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation - House Bill 1143 - stipulating that employers can't force their employees to have an ID or tracking chip implanted in their bodies as a condition of employment.
As the Indiana Lawyer reports, Morrison said that he wants to be sure employers don't "Overstep their bounds" by imposing mandatory employee microchipping.
There are at least two businesses that are using optional microchipping in their employees: Swedish startup hub Epicenter and Wisconsin-based Three Market Square.
The technology does raise security and privacy issues: the chips are safe biologically, but they generate data about how often employees come to work or what they buy.
For what it's worth, Wisconsin-based Three Market Square also had a chipping party for willing employees back in August 2017.
