Indiana AI bills
RSS feed for IndianaEducation matters.
Indiana's HEA 1408 (P.L. 100-2026) is mostly an education bill, but Section 14 adds IC 24-16 on social media providers, defined in part as platforms that employ algorithms analyzing user data to select content for users. Providers must use commercially reasonable means to determine a new Indiana user's age and need verifiable parental consent to open an account for anyone under 16. Those accounts must be configured so they receive no content, content recommendations or advertising based on the adolescent's patterns of use, and no addictive features, and parents get tools to monitor and limit use. Violations are deceptive acts under Indiana consumer law. IC 24-16 is effective January 1, 2027.
Various mental health and insurance matters.
Indiana's HB 1201 (2026) would have barred using an AI system to impersonate or substitute for a licensed mental health professional in interactions that must be performed by one (discipline under IC 25-1-9; a board could impose a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation). It also covered insurance: downcoding limits, mental health reimbursement parity with medical providers relative to Medicare, a 180-day audit and recoupment window, and out-of-network balance-billing limits. Referred to the Insurance Committee January 5, 2026; it was not passed before the 2026 session ended.
Ban on employer use of automated decision systems.
Not law. HB 1421 would have barred Indiana employers with 11 or more workers, and state and local government employers, from relying solely on an automated decision system for hiring, firing, pay, scheduling or other job decisions. Using such a system's output would have required bias testing before use and independent testing every year, advance notice to workers and applicants, human review, plain-language documentation within 7 days, and a right to dispute and appeal to a person. Workers could opt out of algorithmic management. It was referred to committee on January 8, 2026 and got no further action before the 2026 session adjourned.
Disclosure of artificial intelligence use in health care.
Indiana's HB 1620 would have required a health care provider that uses AI technology to make or inform any decision in a patient's care, or to generate any part of a communication to the patient (including through a chat bot), to disclose that use to the patient. An insurer providing accident and sickness coverage would have had the same duty toward an insured. Introduced January 21, 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Public Health; the Indiana General Assembly's record marks it dead.
Autonomous vehicles.
Indiana's HB 1377 (2025) would have defined an automated tractor-trailer (a tractor towing a trailer or semitrailer where at least one safety-critical control function operates without direct operator input) and barred operating one on a highway to carry passengers or goods unless a qualified human operator is physically in the vehicle to monitor it and take over driving. Referred to the Roads and Transportation Committee January 13, 2025 with no further action; it did not pass.
Artificial intelligence inventory and policies.
Indiana's HB 1296 would have required the Department of Education to create guidelines, a model policy and an inventory of at least 20 AI platforms for schools, survey teachers and students, and report yearly, and required every school corporation and charter school to adopt and post an AI policy and not penalize a student based solely on an AI detector. It was referred to the House Education Committee January 13, 2025 and died with the 2025 session.
Artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
Indiana's SB 150 (Public Law 108 of 2024) creates a 15-member legislative AI task force (IC 2-5-53.7) that studies AI used, developed or considered by state agencies, assesses its benefits, risks and effects on residents' rights, privacy, employment and economic welfare, and reports recommendations by October 31 each year. From July 1, 2025, state agencies may submit AI inventories and public entities may adopt technology and cybersecurity policies; entities connecting to state technology infrastructure after July 1, 2026 (public entities after July 1, 2027) must meet cybersecurity rules. Signed March 13, 2024; task force effective July 1, 2024; the AI chapters expire December 31, 2027.
Sexual offenses.
Indiana treats AI-generated and digitally altered sexual images as 'intimate images' under both its civil nonconsensual-pornography law and its crime of distributing an intimate image. Distributing such an image of a person who has not consented, when the distributor knows or reasonably should know that, is a Class A misdemeanor, or a Level 6 felony if the person has a prior unrelated conviction for this offense. The act also covers concealed-camera voyeurism and certain child sexual abuse claims. The AI provisions took effect July 1, 2024.
Use of digitally altered media in elections
Indiana's HB 1133 (P.L. 81-2024) regulates deepfakes in campaign ads. Fabricated media includes undetectably altered recordings, lifelike artificially generated imitations of a person made without consent, and media of an artificially generated person. If a campaign communication includes fabricated media depicting a candidate, whoever paid for it must include the disclaimer 'Elements of this media have been digitally altered or artificially generated,' shown or read as the law specifies. A depicted candidate may sue for damages, injunctive relief and attorney's fees if the disclaimer is missing. It took effect on passage.
Use of fabricated media in elections.
Indiana's SB 7 (2024) would have barred disseminating 'fabricated media' made with generative AI, or contracting to do so, fewer than 90 days before an election to injure a candidate or influence the outcome, when the person knows or reasonably should know it is fabricated, the depicted person did not consent (for altered recordings and imitations of real people), and it lacks the disclaimer 'Elements of this media have been digitally altered or artificially generated.' A knowing and intentional violation would be a Class B misdemeanor, with enhancements. Referred to committee January 8, 2024; it did not pass.
Use of altered media in elections.
Indiana's HB 1283 (2024) would have barred anyone who finances a candidate communication from disseminating 'fabricated media' (altered recordings or generative-AI imitations made without consent) of a candidate in an election within 90 days, to injure the candidate or party or influence the outcome, unless it carries the disclaimer 'This media has been manipulated or generated by artificial intelligence.' A depicted candidate could sue; the bill sets no criminal penalties. Referred to committee January 9, 2024; it did not pass.
Personal delivery devices
Indiana's HB 1072 (P.L. 15-2021) authorizes delivery robots. A personal delivery device is a powered device of up to 500 pounds, excluding cargo, used mainly on sidewalks and crosswalks to carry property and capable of navigating with or without the active control or monitoring of an individual. Devices may operate on sidewalks, crosswalks, roads and streets, but not on state highway system routes inside municipalities, and must carry a unique identifying number and operator identification. Operators need $100,000 of liability insurance, and local governments may restrict devices by ordinance after a public meeting and notice to affected companies. Effective July 1, 2021.
