Summary

The bill lets the state law‑enforcement training board hire an executive director and permits officers with out‑of‑state experience to skip some Indiana training. It doubles the maximum copayment a county‑jail inmate may be charged and extends the period before a fee is waived if the inmate has no money in their accounts. It also adds safety equipment rules for certain boats, updates hiring standards for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and tightens eligibility and reporting for the Military Family Relief Fund.
