“That is my dilemma because Indiana has, in my opinion, dealt with it in a thoughtful way. In some instances, the statute that we have is broader than the amendment offered by the Senator from Oregon and therefore I would think would be acceptable. But in other instances it is narrower. In other words, it is crafted to how Indiana best sees the need to provide information to consumers to protect them. So that I assume then the answer is that that portion of the Indiana consumer protection and consumer information statute, which does not conform to the amendment, is preempted.”
