Indiana" means a person who is at least eighteen (18) years of age and
is one (1) of the following:
(1) A person who has registered a motor vehicle in Indiana.
(2) A person who is registered to vote in Indiana.
(3) A person who has a child enrolled in an elementary or a
secondary school located in Indiana.

applicable to determining the source of adjusted gross income that

project, each contractor shall provide the commission with information
on the number of residents of Indiana who will be employed by the
contractor and the number of residents of Indiana who will be
employed by any subcontractor of the contractor.

works project is to award the contract to a contractor who:
(1) employs residents of Indiana as at least ninety percent (90%)
of the employees who work on the contract; and
(2) enters into subcontracts only with subcontractors who employ
residents of Indiana as at least ninety percent (90%) of the
employees who work on the subcontract.
