SB292:

Prohibits, with certain exceptions, a political subdivision from regulating any matter pertaining to firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories.


Status - Passed. Signed by Governor Mitch Daniels

 

SB94:   

Repeals a provision that states: (1) a resident of Indiana may purchase a rifle or shotgun in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, or Illinois; and (2) a resident of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, or Illinois may purchase a rifle or shotgun in Indiana. This provision is no longer necessary because federal law no longer requires it. Repealing this removes confusion caused by its existence which in some cases has prevented some Indiana residents from purchasing long guns in other states.

Status - Passed. Signed by Governor Mitch Daniels

Status - Passed. Signed by Governor Mitch Daniels


SB411:

Provides that a civil action may be brought against a public or private employer that has: (1) required an applicant for employment or an employee to disclose information under certain circumstances about whether the applicant or employee owns, possesses, uses, or transports a firearm or ammunition or (2) conditioned employment, or any rights, benefits, privileges, or opportunities offered by the employment, upon an agreement that the applicant for employment or the employee forgo the otherwise lawful ownership, possession, storage, transportation, or use of a firearm or ammunition.

Status - Passed. Signed by Governor Mitch Daniels
