Bill > SB0034

This bill makes several key changes: 1. It prohibits state agencies from hiring or employing individuals convicted of rioting after June 30, 2021, unless the conviction was reversed, vacated, set aside, or expunged. It also restricts state and local units from providing certain public benefits to individuals convicted of rioting after that date, with some exceptions. 2. It removes immunity under the Indiana Tort Claims Act for the failure to enforce a law if the failure occurs in connection with an unlawful assembly and constitutes gross negligence. 3. It allows for the civil forfeiture of property used to finance a crime committed by a person who is part of an unlawful assembly. 4. It creates a rebuttable presumption that money bail shall be required for a person arrested for an offense committed while the person was a member of an unlawful assembly, and allows the court to impose more stringent bail conditions. 5. It enhances the penalties for various crimes, including rioting, obstruction of traffic, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct, if committed by a person who is part of an unlawful assembly. 6. It adds a sentence enhancement for battery committed by a member of an unlawful assembly. 7. It prohibits local units from "defunding" law enforcement agencies and allows individuals to seek an injunction against such actions.
