New Laws for 2021
Here are some new laws and regulations that took effect in July of 2021 in Indiana. The State legislature introduces many bills but very few become public law.
HB 1006: Requires the Indiana law enforcement training board to establish mandatory training in de-escalation, specifies that an officer who turns off a body-worn camera with the intent to conceal a criminal act commits a misdemeanor, and creates a procedure to allow the state's training board to decertify an officer who has committed misconduct.
HB 1230: Designated as Safe Haven 911, if a child's parent is unable to give up custody of a child under Indiana's safe haven law, the child's parent may request that an emergency medical services provider take custody of the child by dialing 911.
