AI Summary
This bill amends Indiana Code (IC) by adding a new section that exempts certain individuals from county residency requirements, meaning they do not have to live within the county where they work. Specifically, this exemption applies to public defenders (except for the chief public defender), employees of public defender offices, judicial officers (judges and other court officials), court personnel, deputy prosecuting attorneys, employees of prosecuting attorney's offices, and emergency medical services providers and their employers. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage.
