Bill > HB1013

This bill establishes a legal framework in Indiana to prohibit mandatory administration of certain medical substances, specifically defining a "qualified substance" as any immunization or medical treatment for which manufacturers or administrators have been granted immunity from civil liability under state or federal law. The bill, effective July 1, 2026, creates a new legal chapter that prevents any individual from being compelled to inject, receive an injection of, ingest, inhale, or otherwise incorporate a qualified substance into their body. By creating this exemption, the legislation appears to be addressing potential concerns about medical mandates, particularly around vaccinations, by ensuring that individuals have the right to refuse specific medical interventions that fall under the "qualified substance" definition. The bill adds these provisions to the Indiana Code, specifically in sections IC 16-18-2-302.7 and IC 16-18-5, and provides a clear mechanism for individuals to opt out of receiving certain medical treatments without legal repercussions.
