Public Law 117
Mar 5, 2026
Summary
The law lets Indiana cities and towns regulate shooting ranges but treats maintenance, upgrades, and new indoor ranges as a permitted use that cannot be blocked or delayed by extra conditions. It also makes retail sporting‑goods stores a permitted use in commercial zones and sets uniform safety and construction standards for indoor ranges. Existing zoning rules that conflict with these provisions are void after July 1 2026.
