Summary

The bill designates indoor shooting ranges and retail sporting‑goods stores as permitted uses in commercial, industrial, and agricultural zones across Indiana. It stops local governments from treating renovations or expansions of existing ranges as new non‑conforming uses and requires them to apply the same permit standards as for similar properties, while still allowing neutral building and safety codes. The changes aim to create consistent rules for these facilities and protect them from discretionary zoning hurdles.
