Various animal related matters.

Summary

The bill changes Indiana’s criminal code so that a person who breaks into a vehicle to save a domestic animal is only liable for half the repair costs, provided they follow strict safety steps. It also expands animal‑cruelty definitions to include non‑nuisance rodents and makes the death or permanent injury of an animal an aggravating factor in sentencing. Additionally, it creates a defense for people not involved in an incident when attacked by a law‑enforcement animal.
